Clusterpoint Server is an innovative, engineered from ground-zero, proved by commercial customers, document-oriented database management system (DBMS) with scalable high performance cluster data base architecture.  It has outstanding search features in both structured and unstructured data, including fast sub-second full text search.  It works as a secure transactional data base storage and as an enterprise search engine platform at the same time. It uses XML data store format, the industry standard that is nearly universally supported across different IT platforms.

Our DBMS platform is designed for natively scalable web applications. Start with a single server and scale out to a big private cloud cluster.  Automatically index entire database content for any search and data sort needs, including user friendly free format Internet style ad hoc search.  Automagically update index in real-time on document writes.  Automatically replicate database into multiple copies for safety or workload sharing.  Rank your database for relevant search.  All of the above: without application software changes.

Clusterpoint DBMS can power the broad spectrum of application software: web portals, e-commerce, social networks, Internet crawlers, search appliances, SIEM/ CRM/CMS/ERP systems, document management,  media, Web search, geo-location, bio-informatics,  government, business analytics, cloud services etc.

Clusterpoint DBMS Software Concept

Discover our lightweight method how to store and manage your data only in native XML, and do it easily and productively, even for very big databases. 

Enjoy user-friendly, ultra-fast, sub-second ad hoc search Internet style in any size of your data volume, instantly bringing the most relevant results upfront, organized by your own Information ranking rules.

How Does It Work

Clusterpoint Server is a full-fledged DBMS with open API based on standard web protocols (http/https), native XML data format, and easy management.  The software platform serves as universal data storage engine similarly to SQL databases, though is different being a document-oriented XML data store database.

Clusterpoint Server has been engineered for simplicity of use in interactive web applications, at the same time providing rock-solid reliability required by 24/7 web services.  The software was designed from the ground-up without complexities of legacy DBMS:

It's network architecture is a generic distributed cluster / grid / cloud database software platform:

Each uniquely named data storage (database) is available for application developers and users as a single logical database.  Database partitioning in application software is not required.  Neither is key sharding.  Please read more details in Clustering.  

Please see also Overview and Management.

Fast Enterprise Search Functionality

Clusterpoint Server automatically builds complete full text index, structural index and semi-structural index for ultra-fast search in any custom XML database:

Clusterpoint database customers do not need to integrate their web applications with enterprise search tools (search engines) to achieve fast full text search functionality and relevance.  Rich enterprise search feature set is provided out-of-the-box by our DBMS. 

If you compare a "zoo" of fast data search software spanning, gluing and inter-linking among the variety of platforms and software languages such as Apache, Autonomy, Cassandra, CouchDB, Endeca, Hadoop, IBM DB2, Java, Ingres, JavaScript, Lucene, Microsoft SQL Server and .NET, MongoDB, MySQL, Oracle Text, Php, Perl, Python, Postgres, Ruby, Sharepoint, Solr, Sphinx, Sybase, Verity, XQuery etc., are you aware about actually required integration efforts?  Data format lock-in? Performance problems? Development  and maintenance costs escalation? Think about it!

Clusterpoint Server uniquely combines several widely used isolated software technologies into a single,  scalable, high-performance data storage and search platform with API.  This hybrid system is engineered for maximum computing speed on modern hardware architecture. It delivers cohesive database operations and lightning-fast enterprise search, including full text search, in massively distributed cluster databases. All combined features (database, clustering, search) are implemented in the same very fast server software code in C/C++, operating nearly at machine speed.

A single platform simplifies application software for our customers and require less development time.

Scale Databases Cost-effectively

With Clusterpoint DBMS you can start building your own high speed, scalable, "private cloud" databases using only industry standard XML data format and inexpensive hardware networked in clusters. 

This guaranteed performance feature in clustered architecture enables to build innovative, massively scalable applications such as Clusterpoint NTSS. 

Please see also Customer Advantages.

Simplify Complexity of Databases

Move your corporate databases to Clusterpoint Server to simplify database design, management and search. Then simplify all application software.

With Clusterpoint Server platform your legacy data storage can be transformed into less complex data base architecture, containing undivided, human- readable XML data objects that are de-normalized (in text), natively understandable to both information owners and database application developers:

Clusterpoint database technology enables you to establish and start using fully cross-platform XML databases unlocked from vendor specific software. 

The flexibility of a scalable, XML-only, data structure agnostic Clusterpoint database platform can serve as a basic enabling factor to speed up your software development and radically decrease time to market for your new products and Internet services.

You can literally "shrink" your software code at least by half, eliminating from your software a range of time-consuming programming elements: complex technical dependencies on managing columnar SQL indexes, ensuring multi-table transactional integrity, adopting to relational logic and technical encoding peculiarities, providing data sorting, grouping and filtering for relevant output, doing integration with fast search tools, programming clustering logic by key-sharding etc.   Application software functionality development for a Clusterpoint database takes days instead of weeks or months required for SQL DBMS.

Application software developed for Clusterpoint data storage can flexibly use XML data structure objects, programmed for automatic versioning, with old and new software versions working along on the same database.  Testing and bug-fixing can be performed on production systems with just a few selected data objects upgraded for new functionality needs, inside real-time production environment.  Changes into application software functionality or XML data model structure can be implemented daily or as frequently as your business logic requires: there is no more need to migrate entire database structure to support new software versions.  It nicely fits DevOps model.

All of the above will multiply productivity of software developers using Clusterpoint.  It saves tons of time and efforts required to design, develop, debug and deploy fast, scalable and modern web applications.
