"Scalability" means that as you add components to the system, the performance increases continuously.
That means if you double your AMPs you will double your speed. A 4-AMP system can double its speed by adding 4 more AMPs to become an 8-AMP system.Its enables the system to support more users/data/queries/complexity of queries without facing performance issues.
In the picture on the following page you can see we have a 4,000 AMP system
The chart below lists the meaning of the prefixes:
The Teradata Database can scale from 100 gigabytes to over 100+ petabytes of data on a single system without losing any performance capability. The Teradata Database's scalability provides investment protection for customer's growth and application development. The Teradata Database is the only database that is predictably scalable in multiple dimensions, and this extends to data loading with the use of parallel loading utilities. The Teradata Database provides automatic data distribution and no reorganizations of data are needed.
