 SCALING BASICS

18
 WHAT IS SCALING?
 It is the ability of a system, a network, a computer or a process to handle growing amount of
work or the potential of a system to be enlarged to accommodate growth.
 It is the ability not only to function well in a scaled situation, but to actually take full
advantage of it. For example, an application program would be scalable if it could be moved
from a smaller to a larger operating system and take full advantage of the larger operating
system in terms of performance (user response time and so forth) and the larger number of
users that could be handled

FACTORS TO DECIDE SCALING?

 New site or functionality launches
 Optimal Performance, Frequent Outages
 Increase in traffic
 Maintenance and Patching
