Scaling

• Independence of resources: The advantage of the iboss cloud platform is the use of horizontal scaling vs. "larger" gateways. By using horizontal scaling, additional work units (containerized gateways) are added as capacity demands increase. This allows for infinite scale as bandwidth continues into the Terabit era. For each additional containerized gateway that is added automatically to a customer's containerized gateway collection, additional work unit capacity is added for both bandwidth and cloud requests. This increase in capacity is tightly measured as the capacity of each containerized gateway is known. The Containerized Cloud Gateway architecture provides a multi-tenant platform without a shared data plan
