Feed: Clustrix Blog. Author: BetterSQL. Data integrity, high availability, and easy disaster recovery have always been a major requirement of our ClustrixDB customers. Their OLTP applications are mission-critical and often customer- or consumer-facing, which makes the acceptable margin for error virtually nil. Over the years we have brought a variety of innovations to market to meet these requirements, such as our patented ClustrixDB nResiliency for fault tolerance and the Clustrix Rebalancer that automatically optimizes data distribution for the number of available nodes. With the advent of networking between data centers within a metropolitan region, such as with AWS Availability Zones ... Read More

Feed: Clustrix Blog. Author: bbruce. MySQL sharding comes with challenges. Previously we discussed application and design challenges that MySQL sharding requires. Today we’ll expand on the MySQL sharding business challenges that can result and affect your business flexibility. MySQL applications seeking scale often consider sharding. Sharding is a database architecture strategy in which the data workload is partitioned across multiple separate MySQL RDBMS servers. This kind of partitioning across separate servers allows MySQL applications to scale out writes as well as reads. And that’s not trivial; write scale isn’t something that read slaves or master-master solutions can provide to MySQL ... Read More

Feed: Clustrix Blog. Author: bbruce. When people come up and ask, “Oh, so ClustrixDB is yet another MySQL-compatible database. What makes you different?” we have a terrific answer, and it’s all about horizontal scaling: ClustrixDB is the only MySQL compatible database that linearly scales-out both write and read queries. By horizontal scaling we mean each additional node added to a ClustrixDB cluster adds both linear write and read horizontal scale. This is significantly different from what MySQL can provide — as a single-node master architecture, MySQL can have multiple read slaves added, potentially providing at best only linear read scale ...

Feed: Clustrix Blog. Author: BetterSQL. We are really clear that ClustrixDB is a fully relational, fully SQL, fully ACID compliant database. It’s not a key-value store (KVS), not a document store (JSON and only JSON), and not “eventually-consistent” like Cassandra, DynamoDB, Couchbase, or Riak. So we don’t call it a NoSQL database. Some people put ClustrixDB in the NewSQL category, but we’d prefer calling it BetterSQL. ClustrixDB is a SQL database…just better (and much more scalable). So we are really clear about our identity. But customers and prospective customers keep asking us if they can replace their NoSQL database with ... Read More
