Specific characteristics

100% continuous availability, real-time, distributed, massive scale data management for business-critical applications.

Competitive advantages

Supporting the following application requirements:

Contextual: complete data layer comprising of database - including graph, search, and analytics - to instantly serve relevant information and experiences with every interaction.
Always-on: not simply "high availability", but continuous availability without complexity and cost of multiple systems for replication and failover
Real-time: meet business-critical instant requirements, no matter workload demands or location
Distributed: achieve highest workload requirements no matter the location, with the ability to span data centers, cloud regions, and hybrid cloud
Scalable: scales linearly and predictably. Scale out with commodity hardware or efficiently scale up with compute-intensive hardware

Built-in support for multi and hybrid cloud. A single database/cluster can span all major cloud providers and on-premise installations, which provides complete data independence.
