Increasing system capacity by adding additional messaging servers rather than upgrading a single server.
Why Horizontal Scaling Matters
There is a ceiling on how big one server can get, and it stays a single point of failure however big it is. Adding more ordinary servers raises capacity without that ceiling and means losing one costs a fraction of capacity instead of everything.
How Horizontal Scaling Works
Work is spread across several identical servers behind a load balancer, with shared state kept in a database or queue rather than on any one machine, so a new server can be added or removed without disruption. The alternative, vertical scaling, means moving to a bigger single machine.
How SMPPCenter Uses This
SMPPCenter's deployment model supports adding servers behind load balancing as traffic grows, the same approach that supports high availability, rather than depending on one machine getting larger.
