Hyperscale Computing
Formal
Hyperscale computing is a distributed computing environment in which the volume of data and the demand for certain types of workloads can increase exponentially yet still be accommodated quickly in a cost-effective manner.
Practical
Hyperscale computing is often associated with cloud computing and the very large data centers owned by Facebook, Google and Amazon. There is a lot of interest in hyperscale computing right now because the open source software that such organizations have developed to run their data centers is expected to trickle down to smaller organizations, helping them to become more efficient, use less power and respond quickly to their own user’s needs.
