Abstract:
The performance of a scalable computing environment in a telecommunication network may be improved by configuring a server computing system to monitor a level of traffic throughput within the telecommunication network to determine whether an increase in throughput capacity is needed or a decrease in throughput capacity is acceptable, and increasing a throughput capacity of the telecommunication network when an increase in throughput capacity is needed by adding a logical scalable unit to the telecommunication network. The logical scalable unit may including a minimum combination of logical components required to provide in a single multiprocessor system a complete set of telecommunication functionalities for a subset of users in the telecommunication network.
