Scalability is a b buzz wordb that is commonly used these days.B But, what does it really mean?
Let me give you a few examples.
Two companies are merging.B In an environment where scalability was emphasized, there will likely be dramatic savings realized pretty quickly.B Much of the technology that is commonly used by the businesses can be b right-sizedb b potentially with a few clicks of the mouse.
A company was just awarded a large contract that will increase its business by 50% for the next year or so.B With scalable cloud-based solutions, it will be easy to assemble and equip the team required to successfully deliver the services.
Conversely, itb s a year later and the contract is complete.B Since the team was assembled with scalable technology, it will be fairly simple to terminate the services that are no longer required.B Revenue and costs are directly related.
One of the main drivers for considering cloud service providers is the predictability of the cost associated with the service b including being able to relate the service directly to a revenue stream.
What would I like to leave you with?B Scalability should be given careful consideration when youb re making purchase decisions.B Your infrastructure should expand or contract on demand.B If youb d like to get the discussion started, web re here to help.
