36. What is the use of Cache?
Discuss
Cache memory, also called CPU memory, is random access memory (RAM) that a computer
microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. This memory is typically

37. What is the Bottleneck Problem?
Discuss
A bottleneck, in a communications context, is a point in the enterprise where the flow ofdatais
impaired or stopped entirely. Effectively, there isn't enough data handling capacity to handle the
current volume of traffic.
A bottleneck can occur in the user network or storage fabric or withinservers where there is
excessive contention for internal server resources, such asCPUprocessing power,memory, or I/O
(input/output). As a result, data flow slows down to the speed of the slowest point in the data
path. This slow down affects applicationperformance, especially fordatabases and other heavy
transactional applications, and can even cause some applications to crash.
