The Importance of Operational Agility

Improving Flexibility and Scalability

What is Operational Agility?

Operational agility refers to a company’s ability to automatically and efficiently scale offerings both horizontally and vertically in response to changing demand. To obtain operational agility, a monetization solution must be extensible, micro-services based and cloud native.

The MATRIXX Digital Commerce Platform is a modern cloud native charging platform that enables the operator to manage monetization at scale. It is proven on all leading cloud platforms to give service providers choice and control over deployment.

Vertical vs. Horizontal Scaling

Complex infrastructure must scale in both directions to maximize agility.

Scale Vertically

Vertical scaling means adding more computing power to a single machine. It typically requires the virtualization of resources so that they can be applied dynamically in response to demand.

 

Benefits include:
  • Simpler architecture, less complicated to maintain
  • Lower server costs
  • Fewer data consistency issues

Scale Horizontally

Horizontal scaling means distributing software across additional (virtual) machines. It requires logic that can be broken down into smaller pieces, called micro-services, so that they can be executed across the servers.

 

Benefits include:
  • Easy to add or change code
  • Built-in redundancy
  • Distribute geographically or across data centers
