Downtime
Downtime — both planned and unplanned — costs money. Unavailable data will lose your business thousands an hour. A database outage in a trading firm that relies on continuous transactions would lose millions per hour of downtime.
Continuous Operation
AncelusDB is the world’s first continuous operation database. No trickery; no planned downtime required for any administrative tasks – ever. AncelusDB supports all DBA functions with the database live and in constant operation. This includes schema changes. Add a new column and users never detect the change.
You can remove data from the database without shutdown or even detectable locking (a few nanoseconds). The freed space is immediately available for re-use.
Try that with your relational system.
Backups
AncelusDB never goes down for backup. This critical admin function is a continuous operation. It can be configured to run as a shadow transaction stream, or as a fully functional replicate database maintained in real-time.
To protect from hardware failures, the real-time replicate can operate across a network with hot failover.
No other system has offered this level of performance or reliability.
The patented Ancelus technology achieves these magical feats without any of the traditional “tricks” of the trade. The Ancelus team rejected the traditional methods of duplication, sharding, distributed data, or any of the other marginal processes that add complexity and compromise reliability.
Your database need never be the excuse for losing money.
