Based directly on the testing of the four-node cluster in the lab, the automated approach:
- Required 82 percent fewer steps
- Required 90 percent less focused attention from an IT operator
- Reduced by 40 percent the total time required and resulting maintenance window
- Minimized risk caused by IT operator data entry mistakes or installation option guesswork
For larger implementations, we expect that the automated approach will:
- Require 95 percent fewer steps for the maximum cluster size of 16 nodes
- Require 97 less focused attention from an IT operator on maximum cluster sizes of 16 nodes
- Save enterprise customers one week of effort per year if they are running 20 discrete four-node clusters
Note: These projected outcomes are based on our analysis of the evidence that we collected in the lab testing. Results will vary.
