NetApp® is excited to announce the general availability of its latest offering on the NetApp Instaclustr Managed Platform, Instaclustr for ClickHouse® – a new offering designed to provide businesses with a powerful, scalable, and reliable solution for real-time data analytics.
ClickHouse is an open source, column-oriented database management system renowned for its lightning-fast query processing and high compression ratios. It is commonly used for real time analytics, log and event analysis, and machine learning capabilities to support AI use cases.
By offering ClickHouse on the Instaclustr Managed Platform, NetApp is enabling businesses to leverage these capabilities without the operational complexities typically associated with self-managed solutions.
“The release for Instaclustr for ClickHouse is a testament to our commitment to empower businesses with the best open source technologies,” said Chief Product Officer of Instaclustr, Ben Slater. “With this service, we’re taking the burden of managing the operational aspects of ClickHouse off our customers’ shoulders, allowing them to focus on extracting valuable insights from their data. ClickHouse complements other technologies we already offer on the Instaclustr Platform, such as Apache Kafka® and Ocean for Apache Spark™, which together can be used to build robust and scalable data processing pipelines.”
Instaclustr for ClickHouse includes the features that our customers have come to expect from the Instaclustr Managed Platform, accessible through our console, API, and Terraform Provider.
With a single click customers can make use of advanced features like Tiered Storage to offload rarely accessed data onto cheaper, remote object storage, as well as both dedicated ClickHouse Keeper nodes and Load Balancers to enhance performance and availability.
Automated health checks, monitoring, alerting, customer initiated horizontal and vertical resizing, and daily backups come included with the managed service.
Customers of Instaclustr for ClickHouse will be supported by our 24x7 expert support team and covered by industry-leading production Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with up to a 99.99% availability guarantee.
Like all services provided by Instaclustr, our ClickHouse offering adheres to a pure open source model, giving customers complete freedom and control over their data. At launch, Instaclustr for ClickHouse is available on AWS; expanded support to additional cloud providers and on-premises deployments is coming in the near future.
This new offering expands Instaclustr’s portfolio of managed open source technologies, and is commonly used alongside some existing offerings such as Kafka and PostgreSQL®. Adding ClickHouse is a logical choice as Kafka is frequently chosen in data preparation pipelines for ClickHouse workloads while PostgreSQL and Valkey® are supported natively by ClickHouse via specific table engines.
All of these offerings can be configured to work with ClickHouse today and we will be working in the coming months to provide a simplified, seamless experience when using these technologies together on the NetApp Instaclustr Managed Platform. This underscores our dedication to providing comprehensive, fully managed solutions that help businesses harness the power of open source technologies without the operational hassles.
