It is a scalable solution. When testing the product, I found its scalability features very stable while considering its impact on the testing phase I was involved in with the tool.

We do not have plans to increase usage. We may, in fact, reduce usage as we migrate. We are trying to migrate to Kubernetes however this is a very slow plan. For maybe three or five years, we will continue using Red Hat or CentOS.
We have about ten people using the solution. They are IT administrators.

The solution is extremely scalable. We have about 200 people using it at this point, mostly engineers or database guys.
We'll probably have a minor increase in usage, but not a huge increase in how many nodes we'll have.

The solution is very scalable. CentOS is very good for any microservices or any application that has an auto scalability mechanism available. The number of users usually depends on how many users can access the OS through the network based on the bandwidth.

We have found that the solution can scale.
Our company has 15 to 20 users leveraging it right now.
View full review »I've never scaled it or tried to. That said, it must be. It is just a replica of Red Hat, and therefore it must be.
I use the solution myself, for personal use. My business unit is using this product and we may expand it to one or two more people. We wouldn't scale up to more than that.
View full review »I've never scaled or clustered in any way, although I do have it in multiple systems.
I do not have plans to increase usage since that changed the way the licensing works.

The solution is scalable.
This solution is very scalable, you simply add a node and expand a cluster so that you can scale out on your containerization.
We have five CentOS customers. It is a scalable and cost-effective product compared to public cloud solutions.

The scalability could be better. It doesn't scale that well. I'd rate the scalability seven or eight out of ten.
We have around 50 people, our support team, using the solution.
Our support team deploys the solution on the customer side to assist customers, so the amount of usage would depend on the number of customers we have.
View full review »CentOS is scalable. However, it is depending on the deployment. We use Docker for our applications so we have not scaled the solution, but if the bandwidth is good then CentOS can be scaled.
Our entire company infrastructure is using CentOS. When I host an application, it's usable by about 1,000 people.

I usually work with smaller companies. Therefore, I don’t have issues with scaling. For me, it scales. I’m using one or two-tera hard drives, and it works well with no issues.
I have one client with ten users and other clients who have a bit less than that in terms of users.
We do not have plans to increase usage.

View full review »Yes and no. In regards to the OS itself, there aren't any scalability issues. We have run into issues with other applications but that's not the fault of CentOS, rather, it is the application that would need to be revised.
The solution is scalable. Approximately 1000 users are utilizing the solution.

The solution can be scalable depending on what you are using the server for. If you use the solution as a visualization system, it is scalable, but difficult to scale without having to use additional tools. Linux-based solutions require a lot of manual work unless other tools are used to automate.

In terms of scalability, of course, things don't scale always as you want, however, it's a powerful solution.
The Dutch organization where I work has eight people on the payroll, however, we are not the users. We are the people building the backend and we have hundreds of thousands of people using the applications running on the data center. The people that watch OTT or watch television make use of parts of the installation.

We have cluster nodes, so we can extend and have more servers in the cluster. When we have more incoming requests and more processes for extending functions of the software, we need to scale the server. We work with the vendor for maintaining the software and the server.
We have more than 300 users, and half of them are using the software.
