HP Exam HPE0-S22 Topic 2 Question 23 Discussion

A customer has HPE BladeSystem BL460c Gen9 blades with two processors and 512GB of memory. The blades are running a MS-SQL database on a clustered 2TB SAS virtual volume that is exported from an HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8200. The customer reports that the MS-SQL database is performing poorly.

After extensive performance trending analysis, it is determined that the database front-end I/O requirements are unpredictable and often exceed 100,000 IOPs with latency in excess 30ms at critical times.

Which solution should the architect recommend to resolve the performance issue with consideration to cost and complexity?
