A single instance of GeoDrive had minimal impact on the load of the ECS Appliance. ECS can handle a higher transaction rate and throughput than a single GeoDrive instance can provide. This means more instances of GeoDrive can be deployed on other servers to further use and maximize the performance of ECS.
