English term or phrase: organic scaling
XXX's patent-pending technology has been developed for efficient, scalable storage and distribution that extends beyond the write limitations of a single storage system. As such, it's able to handle the Terabytes of data-per-second required to support mass-market deployments using standard off-the-shelf storage and server equipment. This incomparable offering allows for ***organic scaling*** that can efficiently span multiple geographical points.

Selected answer:expansion/addition according to [natural] growth
Explanation:

scaling here can actually be either upscaling and downscaling. But, who does want/expect his/her business to shrink?

So, scaling here tends to be more of system expansion.

organic refers to natural growth, to this meaning in Oxford dictionary:

organic: characterized by gradual or natural development.

But, for sure, one can only guess what is a "natural" growth for a business. It could be tens of years like the giants from the industrial era (e.g. General Motors, Mitsubishi), or just some years like the giants of our networked era (e.g. Facebook, Google).
