In the few days since we launched “Chapter 2” of the Polarion 2014 Early Access Program (EAP), we’ve had some super input on the new native clustering<\/STRONG> feature<\/A>. It’s extremely helpful<\/STRONG> to have this direct feedback<\/STRONG> from Polarion users while planned features are still under development, not to mention planning our future development to make sure we deliver what you need most. I thought I would share with you how people have responded<\/STRONG> thus far to our questions about the new clustering\/failover\/load-balancing functionality.

Real or Virtual?<\/H3>
