Comments on: Scalability : About http://www.orcasoracle.org/2007/01/26/scalability-about/ Some experiences out of my daily oracle practice Fri, 21 Nov 2008 18:01:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: carl.reitschuster http://www.orcasoracle.org/2007/01/26/scalability-about/#comment-1705 Tue, 27 Feb 2007 06:40:33 +0000 http://www.orcasoracle.org/2007/01/26/scalability-about/#comment-1705 <p>Hi Stew, your observation is simply true. But as as software guy you should point more to the the first definition. You can write software which uses and handles resources in such a bad way that increase of resources has almost no effect. So the better the software answer to incresaed resources the more scalable it is. cheers Karl </p> <p>PS.: Had to write a study of an reporting system. Even with 24CPU, 96G of Ram and fast storage the Throughput did not increase any more. Because of the very bad software scalability.</p> <p>PS.:PS.: So i see scalability in &#160;software and&#160;hardware.</p> <p>&#160;</p> Hi Stew, your observation is simply true.

PS.:PS.: So i see scalability in  software and hardware.

I always find the workload usually increases much faster than the resources needed to handle it.
