Scalability is the property of a system to handle a growing amount of work. One definition for software systems specifies that this may be done by adding resources to the system. [1] In an economic context, a scalable business model implies that a company can increase sales given increased resources. For example, a package delivery system is ...
This technology, or project-focused scaling takes products and services as the point of departure and wants to see those to go scale. [ clarification needed ] In the public sector , and for example in development aid , the desired impact is the point of departure and whatever leads to more impact is scaled (usually in the form of a range of ...
Ioannidis argued that "most published research findings are false" [228] due to essentially the same effect: when many scientific teams and researchers each perform many experiments (i.e. process a big amount of scientific data; although not with big data technology), the likelihood of a "significant" result being false grows fast – even more ...
Database scalability is the ability of a database to handle changing demands by adding/removing resources. Databases use a host of techniques to cope. [ 1 ] According to Marc Brooker: "a system is scalable in the range where marginal cost of additional workload is nearly constant."
The Internet of things requires huge scalability in the network space to handle the surge of devices. [147] IETF 6LoWPAN can be used to connect devices to IP networks. With billions of devices [148] being added to the Internet space, IPv6 will play a major role in handling the network layer scalability.
A digital ecosystem is a distributed, adaptive, open socio-technical system with properties of self-organization, scalability and sustainability inspired from natural ecosystems. Digital ecosystem models are informed by knowledge of natural ecosystems, especially for aspects related to competition and collaboration among diverse entities.
Scalability testing is the testing of a software application to measure its capability to scale up or scale out in terms of any of its non-functional capability. Performance , scalability and reliability testing are usually grouped together by software quality analysts .
The scale cube is a technology model that indicates three methods (or approaches) by which technology platforms may be scaled to meet increasing levels of demand upon the system in question. The three approaches defined by the model include scaling through replication or cloning (the “X axis”), scaling through segmentation along service ...
