Business outcome
- Since we have completed the performance testing, Our reference architecture has been the default starting point for self-managed customers looking to set up HA. This is a significant improvement in efficiency by reducing the time SAs spend helping customers determine the right sizing/setup.
- The performance testing kit has been utilized by prospects who need to prove performance at scale as part of their pre-purchase due diligence. Previously, the customer had to do this on their own, which was time consuming, complicated, and risked the deal moving forward.
