Linear scalability definition

Linear scalability means that as you add components to the system, the performance increase is linear. Adding components allows the system to accommodate increased workload without decreased throughput. Teradata was the first commercial database system to scale to and support a trillion bytes of data. The origin of the name Teradata is “tera-,” which is derived from Greek and means “trillion”.
