MDS 2016 includes many improvements to performance and
capacity. This document shares some early performance test results that compare
MDS 2014 with pre-release MDS 2016.
The tests were run on an Azure GS3 Virtual Machine (8 cores, 112 GB memory, 1 TB premium storage). The test data consists of a model with 7 entities and 2 versions. The largest entity contains 7 million members and 18 attributes, 6 of which are domain-based.

MDS 2014 could not complete the model deployment tests because the data set was too large for it to handle. The Create Package operation did not complete after running for more than 30 hours.
The release-to-market (RTM) version of MDS 2016 includes
even more performance improvements. Stay tuned for details!
