Description: Network scalability refers to the ability of a network to grow and manage an increasing demand efficiently. This means that as the number of users, devices, or applications requiring access to the network increases, it must be able to adapt without compromising performance. Scalability can be vertical, where resources are added to a single node, or horizontal, where more nodes are added to the network. This feature is crucial in environments where demand can fluctuate, such as in cloud applications, IoT (Internet of Things) networks, and general network architectures. Scalability not only refers to the ability to add more resources but also to the efficiency in managing these resources, ensuring that the quality of service remains consistent. In an increasingly interconnected world, where businesses rely on technology to operate, network scalability has become a determining factor for the success and sustainability of technological infrastructures.
