First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of improving performance of a scalable computing environment in a telecommunication network, comprising:
- monitoring a level of traffic throughput within the telecommunication network to determine whether an increase in throughput capacity is needed or a decrease in the throughput capacity is acceptable;
increasing the throughput capacity of the telecommunication network in response to determining that an increase in the throughput capacity is needed by adding a logical scalable unit to the telecommunication network, the logical scalable unit 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; and
decreasing the throughput capacity of the telecommunication network in response to determining that a decrease in the throughput capacity is acceptable by removing an existing logical scalable unit from the telecommunication network.

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.
