What Scalability is:
- Scalability is a desirable property of a system which indicates its ability to either handle growing amounts of work in a graceful manner, or to be readily enlarged as demands increase.
What Scalability is not:
- Raw speed or performance (2GHz vs. 3GHz)
- About the operating system (Solaris vs. Linux)
- About a particular software technology (Java vs. Python vs. Rails)
- About a particular hardware platform (AMD vs. Intel)
- About optimized code (10 lines of code vs. 1000)
- About storage technology (SAN vs. NAS)
