Handle the needs of the business when they change dramatically -- up or down.

Scalability is a component of agility. To move quickly, you have to be able to respond appropriately to business demands, whether they require more or less from your IT.  Many organizations have technologies that allow scalability:  SANs, virtualization and web technologies, to name a few. Yet, most of these technology decisions are still made within the context of a specific platform or business need.  In many cases, this leads to expensive upgrades, re-architecting projects, or the inability to respond to business drivers. An IT environment that can scale is created by design, with requirements at the highest level being pushed into specific technology, application and business decisions. In other words, scalability is built in before the need arises.
