Availability and performance are key factors to success in the eCommerce field but as sites grow, the software used to support them needs to be able to keep pace.
San Francisco-based database company Clustrix is rolling out the latest version of its ClustrixDB product to help businesses cope with expansion and reduce the risk of slowdowns and outages.
ClustrixDB 6.0 is compatible with MySQL and includes performance enhancements for Magento Community and Enterprise Editions. It can support hundreds of thousands of customers per hour and an unprecedented 2,000+ active sessions. In addition, its built-in fault tolerance and high availability capabilities ensure zero downtime and continuous processing of eCommerce transactions even during hardware failures, both on premise and in the cloud.
It allows eCommerce sites to adjust their capacity easily to keep pace with variable volumes of customers, products and orders. Product highlights in this release include up to five times more read and write performance than standard Magento with MySQL, automatic recovery from hardware failures, prioritizing eCommerce transactions over other tasks, and data made available directly at each server to reduce load times.
"Our largest customers manage upwards of 170 million products that require constant real-time inventory and pricing updates, and eCommerce retailers of all sizes are already benefiting from the performance and availability that ClustrixDB's scale-out architecture provides," says Mike Azevedo, Clustrix CEO. "Version 6.0 builds on these features, offering a scalable solution that ensures zero downtime and provides live reporting of business performance metrics to increase sales opportunities and capture more revenue".
