Why Instaclustr
Fully managed
beats DIY.
Every time.
Self-managing open source data infrastructure costs more than you think — in engineering hours, downtime risk, and delayed innovation. Here's how the options stack up.
| NetApp Instaclustr | DIY / Self-Hosted | Cloud Provider Service | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ops Burden | Zero. Fully managed, 24/7 SRE coverage | Total — you’re on the hook for setup, patching, upgrades, failures | Partial — you still tune, manage versions, handle plugins |
| Cloud Flexibility | Any cloud: AWS, Azure, GCP, On-Prem, multi-cloud | Locked to your hardware or VPC | Locked to one provider's ecosystem |
| Cost Predictability | Transparent, consumption-based pricing | High and unpredictable — direct infra, ops, and downtime costs | Complex — pay-per-API-call, I/O charges, and hidden fees |
| Migrations | Zero-downtime migration tooling included | Manual, time-consuming | High friction to migrate out |
| Support | 24/7 expert support, including open source committers | You + community forums | Account-level only (often a paid add-on) |
| Security & Compliance | Built in SOC 2, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, ISO 27018, GDPR Ready, HIPAA Ready | Build your own — basic configs only | Shared responsibility model |
| SLA | Up to 99.999% availability SLA & up to 99% Latency SLAs | No SLA — you own the risk | Variable, often lower than advertised |
