A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Using a global ASP as a benchmark can further mislead thanks to the distorting effect of ultra-high-end prices rising while shipment volumes stagnate. The Moto G4 , for example.

When we released Always On Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 as a new and powerful way to achieve high availability, hardware environments included NUMA machines with low-end multi-core processors and SATA and SAN drives for storage (some SSDs). The rapid acceleration in technology brought on a new discovery and paradigm.

Most partners we work with are not aware of the real-world operating environment and make inappropriate technology choices as a result. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. Deciding what benchmark to use for a performance budget is crucial. Performance budgets are set early in the life of the project.

It is limited by the disk space; it can’t expand storage elastically; it chokes if you run few I/O intensive processes or try collaborating with 100 other users. Over time, costs for S3 and GCS became reasonable and with Egnyte’s storage plugin architecture, our customers can now bring in any storage backend of their choice.
