The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
What does it mean when someone says that a server is scalable or not
scalable?
What does it mean when someone says that a database is scalable or not
scalable?
Are these the same things? In other words, is "scalable" a legitimate
technical word or is it just a generic word people can apply to
anything, (i.e., "my car is scalable" or "my refrigerator is scalable.")
Thanks...
