According to a new press release, “Clustrix, provider of the first scale-out relational database designed for the elastic scaling requirements of high-transaction, high-value workloads of today’s Web applications, announced its nResiliency feature which ensures that the database, and hence the application, remains available in the event of multiple simultaneous server or instance failures. Available now, nResiliency is the first in the market to offer complete confidence that your valuable data is safe and continuously available should two or even more servers (nodes) fail at the same time. Companies can now decide on the maximum number of nodes that could potentially fail in the cluster without losing any data, then ClustrixDB automatically generates the number of data replicas necessary to successfully recover, in the event of multi-node failure.”

The release goes on, “ClustrixDB was developed to address MySQL’s scale limitations, but its architecture is distinct from other MySQL replacements in that it is designed to “scale out” both writes and reads by adding server nodes. This enables it to scale linearly to the point where there are almost no limits to the number of simultaneous transactions it can handle, with practically imperceptible latency to the end user—a capability which Martin Heller of Infoworld highlighted in his review ClustrixDB scales out, way out.”

It continues, “Scale-out ability, combined with the new nResiliency protection against multi-node failure, means that companies can now easily scale to the demands placed on their application by millions of concurrent users. E-commerce sites facing holiday shopping traffic; gaming companies launching a new title; consumer web services and social applications can now all freely match database capacity to demand. Easily add scale when you need it, and then scale-back when you don’t, only paying for the servers you need.”
