Also looking at your pricing http://www.toomuchmedia.com/products/nats/pricing.html
make me think that you charge for extra harware(servers added) and Scalability features are only avaialbe on the most expesive version. However if you have a server farm NATS seem damn expesive(charging for each additional server after second). May be you should speak with you sales guys to remove these charges - so you will have larger customer base who use loadbalancing to test it. It is easy to test it with MPA since it does not require additonal licenses for LB and much more people can afford it.
however sales is not my expertise - take it as advice - removing this charge will help you test you scalability features. |
Peter, yes, we charge for extra hardware, you charge for extra sales. Same thing really in the end more or less, just that we let our customers take the most out of the first hardware you have before charging for a 2nd.
Also, additional servers are only $150 after you have a LB version of NATS.
You charge $100 per 750 blocks of signups after 5500. One server can EASILY handle 100-200 joins a day, thats at LEAST 3000 joins, which would cost your customers $400 if my calculations are correct.
Also, we have no need to test scalability, we have big enough customers to know its fine.
