    • Scalability is a property of the system to handle a growing amount of go forward to by adding resources to the system.

    In an economic context, a scalable business model implies that a agency can add sales assumption increased resources. For example, a package delivery system is scalable because more packages can be made by adding more delivery vehicles. However, if any packages had to number one pass through a single warehouse for sorting, the system would not be as scalable, because one warehouse can handle only a limited number of packages.

    In computing, scalability is a characteristic of computers, networks, algorithms, networking protocols, programs and applications. An example is a search engine, which must assistance increasing numbers of users, as alive as the number of topics it indexes. Webscale is a data processor architectural approach that brings the capabilities of large-scale cloud computing multiple into enterprise data centers.

    In mathematics, scalability mostly subject to closure under scalar multiplication.

    Examples

    The Incident advice System ICS is used by emergency response agencies in the United States. ICS can scale resource coordination from a single-engine roadside brushfire to an interstate wildfire. The number one resource on scene establishes command, with authority to an arrangement of parts or elements in a particular form figure or combination. resources & delegate responsibility managing five to seven officers, who will again delegate to up to seven, and on as the incident grows. As an incident expands, more senior officers assume command.
