Instaclustr Managed Platform

You don’t have to think about any of the tricky configuration of the cluster, we have done all the hard work so that you spin up a production-ready cluster within minutes.

We collect and monitor over one thousand different metrics from every node we manage. That lets us know exactly what the availability and performance of your cluster is at any time.

Dial up or down the processing capacity of your cluster in minutes rather than adding or removing nodes over days.

You can achieve a tenfold improvement in cluster throughput in under 90 minutes by scaling with Instaclustr. This process can be reversed in the same amount of time to dramatically reduce your infrastructure costs.

We schedule offnode backups of all data on a daily basis and these are available for restoration in the event of a significant disaster in your cluster.

Security and configuration

We deploy default security and configuration parameters to ensure that your cluster is in an initial secure and performance tuned state.

Networking and access control

Our system allows you to connect to the cluster in multiple different ways including Public IP and VPC peering, all secured by username/password authentication on top of TLS secured client certificate authentication and encryption.

SOC 2 Standards

We are the first hosted Cassandra service provider to meet the SOC 2 standards.

The best technology relies on the best operational practices to perform to its potential. Instaclustr’s Technical Operations team has mature, battle-tested processes and procedures to ensure your environment is proactively maintained and our responses are efficient and effective when problems arise

We provide an application console that provides access and visualization of over 1,000 performance metrics that we collect from the nodes within your cluster.

Through our application dashboard our customers can the following core activities:

• Cloud orchestration  We deploy and manage all the underlying cloud resources required to support your cluster.
• Cluster provisioning – We automate the installation of Apache Cassandra and all required software components so that you have a production-ready cluster within minutes.
• Security and configuration  We deploy default security and configuration parameters to ensure that your cluster is in an initial secure and performance-tuned state.
• Add-ons – At this point, you can elect to include additional open source data management technologies including Apache Spark and Apache Zeppelin.
• Monitoring and alerting   You can use our dashboard and metrics to monitor the health of your cluster.
• Adding, removing, and replacing nodes   Nodes can be added, removed, or replaced at the click of a button. All significant scaling operations are managed by our technical operations team so there is no impact on cluster performance.

Our team is aware of the status of every single node in every cluster we manage. We constantly maintain the health and all nodes and clusters to ensure that problems don’t appear in the future.

Multi-Region clusters

We also automate adding additional regions and data centers to your cluster, so you can achieve geographical redundancy at the click of a button.

Multi-Cloud and hybrid clusters

Our system supports hybrid and multi-cloud clusters for applications that require systemic redundancy.

Instaclustr Service Broker, an implementation of Open Service Broker (OSB) API, that enables containerized applications to seamlessly integrate with data layer services like Apache Cassandra and Apache Kafka on the Instaclustr Managed Platform. Containerized applications can now use capabilities such as automated service discovery, provisioning, management, and deprovisioning of data layer clusters running on the Instaclustr Managed Platform.
