See how a server crashes and your database survives as if nothing had happened!
Xeround simplifies the managing of your Rackspace MySQL database – making it easy to ensure scalability and high-availability of your DB on the Rackspace cloud.
Xeround’s range of features, unmatched by any other database solution, make it the only truly elastic MySQL database-as-a-service available on Rackspace.
A Ridiculously Simple, Seriously Powerful Cloud Database:
- Simple: Create your new cloud database within seconds. You do not need to change anything in your code or architecture to enable scaling or high availability.
Once your cloud database is up and running, configuration and the on-going DB operations are automated so you can rest assured your database will be running smoothly – freeing you to focus on your application.
- Auto-Scaling: Xeround’s revolutionary auto-scaling feature automatically scales your Rackspace MySQL database across multiple nodes when additional capacity or throughput is needed, and shrinks it back down when resources are underutilized.
Xeround is the only cloud database that provides unlimited linear scalability for both database throughput and size, with no downtime. Auto-scaling is performed in a way that is completely transparent: no code changes are required to your application and there is no need for architectural or code scaling considerations (memcached, sharding etc.)
- High availability: Our unique replicated, self-healing architecture ensures high availability and full resiliency of your Rackspace MySQL database in the event of failure or schema changes.
Xeround has no single point of failure – our patented technology utilizes virtual partitions that hold a configurable number of replicas. If a cloud server fails, the surviving replicas maintain the service, replacement cloud resources are consequently allocated and your data is synchronized.
These built-in replicas and self-healing mechanism are all automated and require no configuration or management on your part.
- Full MySQL compatibility:
so that no code changes are required for porting your existing apps.
On Rackspace Cloud, Xeround’s datacenter is deployed on RackSpace US East Coast (ORD1). Additional data centers and regions will be available soon.
