What aspect of a document management system could be affected by adding more vCPUs?

Adding more virtual CPUs (vCPUs) to a document management system can primarily impact the system's performance and efficiency in processing requests, which ties closely to how software licensing can be managed or affected. Some software licensing models are based on the number of CPUs or cores allocated to a server. This can mean that increasing the number of vCPUs might necessitate a review or adjustment of the licensing terms, which could lead to increased costs if the licensing is tied to CPU counts.

This matters because as the processing capacity of the document management system increases, the software may need to align with licensing requirements that accommodate for this scalability. Therefore, when expanding the system by adding more vCPUs, administrators must ensure that they remain compliant with the licensing policies set by the software vendors used within the system to avoid legal and operational issues.

In contrast, options like network speed, page faults, and load balancing may be influenced by changes in workload and infrastructure but do not inherently see direct changes due solely to the addition of vCPUs. Network speed is predominantly tied to bandwidth and routing rather than CPU allocation. Page faults relate more to memory management than CPU, and load balancing deals with distributing workloads across multiple resources, which may not be directly impacted simply by increasing the
