Growth Accomodations
Scalabilty
- Is it linear ?
- What is the limitation ?
- eg: One CPU can keep a QFE saturated at only 50 % packets.
- OS level limitations. (# of mount entries, inodes)
Capacity
- Can incremental blocks now give more capacity.
- Adding a system board/CPU,disks.
- “lego” model.
- Sufficient notice of the next server purchase. (more $$$)
