Scaling Out or Scaling Up?
Nati Shalom (Gigaspaces):
Today, with the availability of large multi-core and large memory systems, there are more cases where you might have a single machine that can cover your scalability and performance goals. And yet, there are several other factors to consider when choosing between the two options:
- Continuous Availability/Redundancy
- Cost/Performance Flexibility
- Continuous Upgrades
- Geographical Distribution
Very informative.
