Xeround Platforms

Designed as a native cloud database, Xeround’s database solution is vendor agnostic – meaning it can run on any cloud service provider.

Users that choose Xeround can avoid vendor lock-in and run their database on any cloud provider as well as migrate seamlessly between different clouds without requiring any code changes to their applications.

Xeround’s cloud database is currently available on our Amazon EC2 datacenters in the United States and in Europe, the Heroku cloud platform, on the Rackspace Cloud, Engine Yard and HP Cloud. Support for additional cloud providers and availability zones is planned in the near future.

Xeround on Amazon EC2 (RDS Alternative)

Users who are deploying their applications on Amazon EC2 and either running their own MySQL or using Amazon RDS, can simply transition to using Xeround’s database by changing the connection address, loading the schema and running it.

Xeround offers multiple advantages over Amazon RDS. See the Amazon RDS feature comparison or the Xeround vs. RDS performance benchmark.
