Whale Cloud

Overview

Centralized Database Service (cDAS) is a x86 architecture based relational database performance solution by Whale Cloud, featuring
- significant performance boost
- HA or RAC computing
- distributed storage
while saving up to 1/3 of database costs for OLTP and OLAP workloads.

Benefits

Reduce DB Cost

By adopting InfiniBand and in-house developed ISE (Intelligent Storage Engine), cDAS were able to greatly reduce CPU requirements of DB servers, saving up to 1/3 of your existing DBMS license without major remodeling or adaption. This reduction in DB license cost also translates to further OPEX savings up to 1/3.

Maintain Original DBMS

cDAS is a DBMS performance boost solution, on top of your existing DBMS of choice. Engineering teams were able to maintain current knowledge stack and also minimal remodeling on the business application. Currently supports mainstream relational databases including Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Quick Delivery

With the help of an in-house developed tool – SIMS (System Integration Management Service), cDAS provides one-click installation of cDAS itself and debugging of applications running on cDAS.

Record Performance at Marginal Cost

Each storage node under ISE management can reach up to 1,000,000 IOPS. In comparison, equivalent all-in-one options on the market cost 10x more. A Telco veteran, cDAS performance has been proven in large scale telco BSS/OSS projects in Asia and Europe, providing significant performance boost and received positive response from customers.

Features

x86 + InfiniBand for superior performance

Adopting x86 server and InfiniBand technology, cDAS connects compute nodes and storage nodes via 56Gbps InfiniBand switch @100ns latency. Performance boost from distributed storage drastically reduces DB computing needs resulting in a lean & agile solution architecture.

Distributed storage & high data durability

Distributed storage cluster in cDAS maintains a 2-copy data storage profile, leverage on affordable x86 server cluster to achieve high capacity & high durability @99.999%.

Deployment options for all scenarios

Several deployment options are available for applications big to small. Typical deployment ranges from 2 compute/storage fusion nodes +1 management node for simple workload, to 8 compute nodes + 20 storage nodes for large scale mission critical applications.

Linear performance boost from linear expansion

cDAS supports linear scaling, adding compute nodes leads to computing performance boost, and add storage nodes results in storage capacity gain. The performance/capacity gain is in portion to the new nodes added, with no visible performance bottleneck.

Intuitive operation & maintenance

cDAS provides a unified O&M portal regardless of underlying DB of choice. A B/S interactive interface management platform, providing daily health reports to maintain business stability and reduce operation difficulties. Main functions include information acquisition, threshold analysis and warning, advanced management operations and privileges management, etc.
