Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What does 1 TB processing mean for my academic team?
  A: 1 TB processing indicates the platform can ingest and process up to approximately one terabyte of data for discovery workflows within the license term. The actual throughput depends on data types, processing rules, and hardware configuration. For institutions with larger datasets, consider scaling hardware or engaging with Veritas to discuss capacity planning and potential upgrade options within ALP terms.
