Scalability of A System

scalable : able to be changed in size or scale

Scalability

Scalability is the capability of a system, network, or process to handle a growing amount of work, or its potential to be enlarged to accommodate that growth.

For example, a system is considered scalable if it is capable of increasing its total output under an increased load when resources (typically hardware) are added.

A system whose performance improves after adding hardware, proportionally to the capacity added, is said to be a scalable system.
