Hyperscale computing
Hyperscale is a term commonly used in computing and system design that refers to the ability of an architecture to scale appropriately as increased demand is added to the system. This typically involves the ability to seamlessly provision and add compute, memory, networking, and storage resources to a given node or set of nodes that make up a larger computing, distributed computing, or grid computing environment. Hyperscale computing is necessary in order to build a robust and scalable cloud, big data, map reduce, or distributed storage system. Hyperscale computing is often associated with the infrastructure required to run large distributed sites such as facebook[1] , google[2] , or amazon. [3] [4]
