Scalability is really good because, for the few systems that we have, it easily manages the message workload that we put out and could really handle much more. I know of much larger sites that are using OPS/MVS for their automation and these other companies wouldn't be using it if it wasn't scalable to the extent that it is.

Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age. And it can't be scaled because the newer warehouses, or the new distribution units, require far more automation, far more artificial intelligence, far more robotics. This application, unfortunately, cannot be scaled, unless you add more middleware pieces. So it's great where it's at, but modern environments are having a difficult time scaling it.

Interestingly, since we're a beta site, we had the old automation platform. Then, when they merged OPS/MVS to automate, they really improved things with the merge. And then they started building up on it, so it's been scalable for the past umpteen years now.

Adding OPS to a new LPAR or removing it from a decommissioned LPAR, hasn’t caused any issues.

We have gotten close in one or two cases with the size of global variables but no show-stoppers.

I did not really encounter any issues with scalability. We were warned of an issue with the number of MSF links that could be up simultaneously, but that was resolved years ago.

It's very scalable. You can automate with it, a 1CP, and for the moment we have around 200 LPARs. So you can, for one LPAR, it's a logical partition... or with 200. It's very scalable.

Scalability is simple and easy. We just built another system, put Ops on it, and built it in less than an hour.

We have not had any issues with the scalability.

As mentioned, our largest LPAR currently has 633 tasks defined to SSM. That kind of shows that there does not seem to be any issues with how big a system can get.

Scalability is good. I'd say it's up there in the upper range, 9/10 or 10/10 for scalability.
