GRIDSCALE Overview
Businesses today continue to grapple with an age-old problem: how to deliver non-stop access to business-critical data. Application downtime can have a significant impact on your business - significant revenue loss, lower employee productivity, regulatory fines and worse, damage to your corporate brand.
Most organizations use costly, isolated or clustered SMP boxes to provide some measure of availability. Unfortunately these "high availability" (HA) technologies were designed for fail-over, not 24x7 availability. They do not allow IT to perform maintenance on their databases without downtime. As a result, IT organizations are forced to maintain expensive active-passive systems and resort to planned downtime to keep databases up-to-date.
Introducing GRIDSCALE
With GRIDSCALE from xkoto, you can escape the limitations of today's active-passive database environments by virtualizing your database infrastructure. GRIDSCALE uses patent-pending technology to enable commercial off-the-shelf databases to run on a cluster of commodity systems with the same or better reliability and performance as much more expensive proprietary systems. Since GRIDSCALE is an active-active solution, all the servers in the grid are accessible, fully utilized and can be dispersed geographically to mitigate disaster scenarios.
With GRIDSCALE you can:
- Deliver continuous availability 24x7 for DB2 applications
- Dramatically improve application performance and scalability
- Eliminate down time/maintenance windows
- Ensure safety for data across multiple sites
- Increase utilization of hardware assets
