Description: A scalable network is a network infrastructure designed to grow and adapt to increasing demand without losing performance. This means that as more devices or users are added, the network can handle the increased traffic and maintain operational efficiency. Scalable networks are essential in environments where workload can vary significantly, such as in expanding businesses or cloud services. Key features of a scalable network include the ability to easily add resources, flexibility to adapt to different topologies, and the possibility of implementing technologies like OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) to optimize routing. Additionally, Software-Defined Networks (SDN) play a crucial role in scalability, as they allow centralized management and automation of network configuration, facilitating adaptation to changing needs. In summary, a scalable network not only enhances efficiency and performance but also provides a solid foundation for future growth.
