Once the data was populated, we started testing with 200 concurrent users and increased the user load
to 5000 in increments of 200 users, randomly running transactions against the legacy database while
making sure that the average query response time always stayed below 2 seconds. Throughout the lab
performance testing we made sure that storage disks were not a bottleneck at any time. Whenever it
was observed that there was disk latency we added disk enclosures to the storage system.
