Linear Scalability

The ability to scale in a near linear fashion is necessary to cost-effectively scale an infrastructure to support potentially massive subscriber growth. MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition’s architecture enables it to scale in a near linear fashion by leveraging automatic data partitioning. This means that data is efficiently accessed on any individual Data Node without the need for intercommunication within a cluster to satisfy a look up.

The shared-nothing architecture gives applications the flexibility to start small and make incremental investments to increase capacity with demand. In addition, adding SQL Nodes to a system is done online, without any downtime or management intervention.

MySQL Cluster CGE provides the response time and throughput to meet the most demanding communications industry applications. The performance advantage is inherent to being a main memory clustered database solution, which keeps all data in memory and limits IO bottlenecks while asynchronously writing transactions to disk. Servers can share processing within a cluster, taking full advantage of modern hardware configurations.

Typical response times for MySQL Cluster CGE are in the range of a few milliseconds and it has been proven to handle tens of thousands of distributed transactions per second that are also replicated across database nodes.
