Scaling

• Independence of resources: Combined with virtualisation, decoupling hardware from the operating system and applications, multi-tenancy occurs when many customers are served on one instance. Virtual machines (VMs) share the hardware environment, and one system can accommodate more than 100 tenants. Using adaptive computing, virtual machines are not shut down to be rescaled or updated, and changes can be made while they are running applications, with minimal downtimes. To enable this, a new VM is prepared and the application is simply “moved” to the new VM. Moving and rescaling VMs dynamically enables resource independence from the demands of other customers using the same service.
