70-100: scalability question

[edelwater]

I dont undertand why the answer to the question beneath is D and Not C !

It says nowhere that the system will be changed in any way. And e.g. a website with an increase to 5000 users will more often show "5xx too many users" or similar messages.
Scalability would mean there are plans to change the system in any way (e.g. upscale it) but it says nowhere that they are going to do that ?


------------------
11. A system expects to be deployed for 100 users but within a year will be deployed to 5000 users. What will be most affected by the increase in users?

a. Extensibility
b. Securability
c. Availability
d. Scalability
e. Maintainability

It's in the question.....they intend to upsize by 50 times.....hence scalability....

thanks for your reply but..

scalability is like a constant (you can run all kind of tests to determine it). So the scalability remains a constant if the system is not changed (they only mention an increase in visitors) --> it remains the same.

availability is no contant

so when they ask what will be most affected:
- scalability : that will not change
- availability : that will change

or not ?
