workload?

A.
Implement a partition that uses dedicated SSD drives and VIOS shared Ethernet to the existing 10GbEthernet.

B.
Allocate a new dedicated Ethernet adapter to the trading partition.

C.
Implement the new partition and use the existing shared Ethernet connection for the trading link.

D.
Implement a partition that uses dedicated memory with existing storage and VIOS shared Ethernet to the
