Linux extends applications and database capability with platform coverage and scalability. Horizontal and vertical scaling meet business processing demands across multiple platforms and computing architectures. Scalability is a key success factor for business applications in a dynamic environment. Platform scalability is expressed in the number of processors driven by one operating system (2-way, 4-way, 8-way and so on). The growth of processors within one operating environment is called vertical scaling. Horizontal scaling is leveraging multiple systems to work together on a common problem in parallel. Each system has its own operating system and one or more processors controlled by each system image.
