Service scope
- Service constraints
- Since Polycloud will be hosted within client's environment, we do not foresee any constraints from our side. In the event that the number of alerts grows significantly for event management, we can scale by adding additional servers within the client’s environment to handle the increased load. This ensures performance and reliability without impacting service quality.
