Orchestration Allows admisistrators to manage and organize storage, networks, and datacenters. Database Monitoring Monitors performance and statistics related to memory, caches and connections. Anomaly Detection Alerts users when unauthorized parties or malware is detected allowing administrators to remedy the issue. Network Security Secures data at rest and in transit from unauthorized access. Show More ##### ## Database Administration (3) Provisioning Allows administrators to organize components of the database to maintain instance efficiency. Governance Allows the creating and relinquishing of database access credentials. Auditing Documents access and alterations of the database for analytics and reporting. Show More ##### ## Availability (15) Scalability Expands functionality while maintaining balanced loads. Serves growing demand without reducing functionality. Backup The abillity to restore files to its original loacation or alternative sources on-demand. Archiving Stores historical records of information for reverting or reference. Indexing Helps users navigate databases by labeling and organizing datasets. Auto Sharding Implements auto horizontal data partitioning that allows storing data on more than one node to scale out. Auto Recovery Restores a database to a correct (consistent) state in the event of a failure. Data Replication Copy data across multiple servers through master-slave, peer-to-peer replication architecture etc. Auto Sharding Implements auto horizontal data partitioning that allows storing data on more than one node to scale out.
