<p>Customers often times want a fast system, and rightfully so. But what is fast anyway? How do you define it, and how do you measure it? “Performance” is a term that is quite subjective if not properly defined, and appropriately measured. When it comes to performance expectations what defines success? This week on the Virtually Speaking Podcast we welcome VMware performance expert <a href="https://twitter.com/vmpete" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Pete Koehler</a> to discuss how he sees customers define and perceive success in a new deployment.</p>
