2. SCALABILITY AND AVAILABILITY
- THE CHALLENGES
Scale-up and Scale-out
‒ Different applications require different approaches
Going beyond physics of single system or small cluster…
‒ More complexity (hundreds to many thousands of parts)
‒ More vulnerability (things break, bad things happen)
Bottom Line: You need to architect for it from the start
‒ Higher quality sub systems for higher reliability
‒ Design for resiliency and high availability
‒ Use the right technology in the right place
‒ How does a technology refresh impact availability?
