Summary

InfluxDB Clustered is a self-managed product for large-scale time series workloads that offers high performance, unlimited scale, and significant cost savings compared to its predecessor, InfluxDB Enterprise. It delivers real-time data analysis, native SQL support, and supports unlimited data cardinality, making it suitable for enterprise and compliance requirements. The product runs on Kubernetes-based containers with decoupled, independently scalable ingest and query tiers, providing high availability and scalability. With the separation of compute and storage, InfluxDB Clustered can handle high-speed, high-volume analytics in real-time, including managing high cardinality data without impacting performance. It also introduces multiple storage tiers, including a hot storage tier for immediate data availability, and a cold storage tier for long-term storage at lower costs. The product offers a 90% reduction in storage costs compared to previous versions, making it an attractive option for organizations looking to optimize their time series data analysis.
