7 Things To Know About Clustrix

1. MySQL Compatible

Clustrix provides a drop-in replacement for MySQL databases. The Clustrix query planner translates MySQL query language to queries optimized for Clustrix distributed database architecture. This allows developers to use the mostly widely used SQL language in the world and get the benefits of the Clustrix approach. No new application code required.

2. No Sharding

With Clustrix there is no sharding. Ever. Clustrix scales from dozens to hundreds of nodes, appearing as a single database to the application. When you need more transactional throughput or storage capacity, simply add more Clustrix nodes. Clustrix provides this scalability without any changes to the application. With Clustrix you can focus on building your business instead of managing the cost and complexity of sharding. Our customers report that Clustrix is only 10% of the cost of sharding.

3. Distributed Relational Database Architecture

Clustrix provides scale-out transactional performance with a unique parallel query approach that generates distributed query plans and query fragments for speed and scale.

4. Linear Transactional Performance

Clustrix is the only provider of linear scale on the planet.  Add nodes as needed with no upper limit. No need to ever shard again to achieve scale.

5. Automatic Fault Tolerance

Continuous application availability is ensured with built-in redundancy, automatic failover at the data level, and online schema changes that enable application innovation without taking the database down. Absolutely no operator intervention required. A replacement node will seamlessly integrate into the cluster with zero application downtime—no labor-intensive work needed to fix replication.   

6. Always ACID Compliant

The Clustrix database was built from the ground up with ACID compliance in mind.  Each part of ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability) has code throughout the system dedicated to it. All transactions are ACID compliant without compromise. All the time.

7. Optimized Appliance Architecture

The shared-nothing, low-latency compute platform is built on solid-state drive (SSD) and industry standard building blocks with automatic data redistribution that maintains performance as the database changes and grows.  Not only is the appliance cost effective and easy to install and use, each component is tested for data integrity, data durability, and manageability.

No Sharding!

Database sharding is expensive and risky. It introduces significant opportunity cost and risk by requiring additional application code and operational complexity.

Clustrix diminishes the cost and complexity of sharding. Clustrix has created a distributed database that grows online through clustering.
