100%
Scoring system has been defined. - Migrate one customer to our reference architecture =>
100%
- List of additional needed reference architectures =>
100%
We have identified 10K, 25K and 50K and the next immediate need. - 10,000 user reference architecture =>
100%
- 25,000 user reference architecture =>
100%
- 50,000 user reference architecture =>
100%
- First iteration of a mixed Kubernetes Omnibus architecture =>
100%
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.
