Scalability in cloud computing: The ability to handle an increased workload without a decrease in performance. This concept is used in cloud computing to ensure that a system can handle the added demand of new users or applications without slowing down. For example, a company might need to add new users to its cloud-based email system without disrupting service for existing users.
