Test environment

The FlexiCapture servers and the Database Server were installed on virtual machines rented from Microsoft Azure. The configuration was that of the typical On-Premises installation. At one point in the test, performance reached its maximum due to the limitations of the disk subsystem. Replacing the low-performing disk with the fastest disk available did not improve performance significantly. The new disk’s potential was soon used up as well.
