The result of node scaling with software-defined architecture is unmatched performance. As the infrastructure grows, you can see that the aggregated resources predictably generate near-linear growth in performance at all scales. The IOPs continue to scale with added nodes. The bandwidth (or throughput) also continues to scale linearly with added nodes.
As the platform will continue to scale by adding more instances, expect performance to scale linearly.
