3 Scalability How easily does the application scale to deliver additional capacity? Please consider the degree to which the application responds to additional demand including growth in the number of users, usage, and data volume. RADIO BUTTONS: Label: “5 – Elastic”, Value: 5 Label: “4 – Very Scalable”, Value: 4 Label: “3 – Scalable”, Value: 3 Label: “2 – Somewhat Scalable”, Value: 2 Label: “1 – Rigid”, Value: 1 5 - Elastic – On demand technical scalability and capacity. Marginal effort needed to achieve growth and sustain application relevancy. 3 – Scalable: Responsive to most demand growth. Technologies are reasonably adaptive with the exception of known core dependencies; increases in scale and capacity are achievable, but not without advanced planning and investment. 1 – Rigid: Difficult and costly to scale to any degree; technologies are unchangeable without significant modernization investments; increases in scale and capacity are unachievable without significant changes to software and hardware.
