KEYS TO A SUCCESSFUL POC
Important things to remember during your POC:
Define “acceptable” user experience
Render times, smoothly panning, menu to appear
Compare real world workloads
With “think time” included, opposed to peak workload benchmarks
Test with real users
3D designer in the application, ultimate test of success
