[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

**Scaling Up** is taking what you’ve got, and replacing it with something more powerful. From a networking perspective, this could be taking a 1GbE [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:switch|switch]], and replacing it with a 10GbE switch. Same number of switchports, but the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:b:bandwidth|bandwidth]] has been scaled up via bigger pipes. The 1GbE bottleneck has been relieved by the 10GbE replacement.
