The service could be improved by faster servers, more widely available VMs, and more storage in one place. Then, in the event of a blade failure, we could start our VMs on another blade in a couple of minutes. This is why we wanted to buy storage. But now, we want to buy a twin server with 24 VMware discs to create test storage. The next product release should allow more servers to be controlled simultaneously.

The initial setup was not overly difficult or complex. It was straightforward. I'd describe it as simple. A company shouldn't have any issues with implementation. The deployment is fast and only takes a few hours to execute. We have another team that handles maintenance. I'm not sure how many people are required to handle that aspect of the product.
