How it Works

The Drawn to Scale Platform allows you to have unlimited storage, users and processing power without having to sacrifice one for the other two. It's the first scalable platform to handle real-time queries, just like your relational database.

Our platform can do this because it's built on technologies that are natively scalable -- from our effortless query language and migration tools, to projects like Hadoop, HBase, and Lucene. Because it's always been designed to scale, there aren't any growing pains when you break a record for storage, users served or processing power consumed, it just keeps growing with you.

Unlimited Storage

Adding storage hasn't always been an easy task. In some cases you have to reconfigure your system every time you make a change. Because the Drawn to Scale Platform is built on HBase, it doesn't require any extra configuration when you need to add more space, no matter if it's 1GB or 100TB. In your data center it's as simple as adding another hard drive to the rack. And in the cloud you get the added benefit of Just In Time resource allocation. Your application can request more storage space right when it needs it, and because the system doesn't need any extra configuration, it's up and running as soon as it's apportioned by your cloud service provider.

Unlimited Users

It's a common problem: add more users, add more time to process your data and add more headaches. Until now the easiest way to solve the problems of serving more users was to store your data exactly as you were going to serve it, cutting out actually doing anything with it except storing it after you got it. Now you can actually use the data you're collecting from and serving to your users any way you want, and not suffer the performance losses you'd expect.

Because the Drawn to Scale Platform is built on HBase and distributed Lucene, the number of users you have becomes a completely independent it's been designed to run in a distributed environment, as your user base grows adding storage and processing power is as simple as turning on another machine in your data-center, or requesting more resources from your cloud services provider. There isn't any time consuming configuration, if you need 20 more CPUs or an extra 100GB of storage to handle the workload just add the resources and the system integrates them and keeps working, uninterrupted.

Unlimited Processing

Using the power of a system designed to scale, the Drawn to Scale Platform allows you to run whatever operations you need on your data, no matter how much of it you have or how complex those operations may be. You can use your data the way you need to, and still serve it to your user-base, no matter if it's 100 or 100 million. Your application won't lag because you need to run extra sales reports this month, or do a complex conversion-- the Drawn to Scale Platform can handle the workload.

And the system doesn't distinguish between one server or another, so it doesn't matter if you add or lose one, your application will continue running with the resources it has access to. With no one single point of failure, the Drawn to Scale Platform provides piece of mind, no matter what you're doing with your data.
