Organizations around the world are
transitioning an increasing amount of their
IT budget and processes to Cloud Computing
services. In doing so they are realizing
benefits across departments and processes
and improving their revenue and ability to
innovate.

VERTICAL VS HORIZONTAL SCALE
Cloud Computing 2.012
• Two methods of adding capacity• One has been largely ignored in cloud computing
• Horizontal Scaling• Add more machines to the back end in response to load• Until recently, the only scaling choice available in public cloud• Programmatically intensive to communicate data across machines
• Vertical Scaling• Add more CPU cores or RAM to an existing machine• No additional programming required, simply add more virtual hardware• New cloud scaling choice available from exactly one vendor (no reboot
required)
