Severalnines Introduces ClusterControl, a Private Database-as-a-Service

Severalnines’ products are used by developers and administrators of all skills levels to manage, monitor, scale’ database cycle, thus freeing them from the complexity and learning curves that are typically associated with highly available database clusters

FREMONT, CA: Severalnines, a pioneer in providing automation and management software for database clusters, is introducing the ability to use their flagship product ClusterControl as a private, on-prem, Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), as a simple and more cost-effective alternative to public DBaaS offerings. Using a private, full-ops DBaaS, companies can take full advantage of working on bare metal servers where they are the only tenant. This is a great advantage for companies that need to optimize performance and create new services for both the cloud and behind the firewall.

ClusterControl supports several different open-source database technologies with the same benefits of scalability, reduced administration overhead, improved security, and reduced long-term costs compared to managed cloud databases.

Serveralnines’ full-ops approach to monitoring and automatically manage database services with various replication topologies and database-aware load balancers provide companies with a highly available database backend and the flexibility of customizations for their specific use cases with full control at the edge.

Public DBaaS allows for quick and easy deployment of the database, and one can only deploy the topology that is supported. The deployment capabilities found in ClusterControl allow for multiple database topologies to be created or taken down on-demand with just a few clicks. Users can also scale up or down as necessary, with the ability to expand their on-prem databases to public cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure if desired.

As businesses grow, circumstances change, and what a cloud provider is offering today may not be what the organization needs eight months from now.

“The public DBaaS market is growing exponentially, but so are the costs and feature disparities across providers,” said Vinay Joosery, CEO & Co-Founder of Severalnines. “Using ClusterControl as a private DBaaS lets you experience all the benefits of using a public DBaaS, but with full control over the security and costs.”

Often called the anti-startup as it is entirely self-funded by its founders, Severalnines is a private company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with offices in Singapore, Japan, and the United States. The company has enabled over 12,000 deployments to date via its popular product ClusterControl
