Circonus IRONdb Time Series Database
Highly scalable, fault tolerant time series database
Ingest, compute and analyze massive amounts of time series data
Performance at scale
Circonus IRONdb makes it easy to handle and store unlimited volumes of telemetry data, easily handling billions of metric streams.
Advanced analytics
Circonus IRONdb enables users to identify areas of opportunity and challenge in real time, providing forensic, predictive, and automated analytics capabilities that no other product can match. Rely on machine learning to automatically set a “new normal” as your data and operations dynamically change.
Visualizations
IRONdb enables the Circonus application to stream massive amounts of data in real-time to the dashboards eliminating the need to refresh for the latest results.
Robust storage and replication
“No Touch” replication
Circonus IRONdb keeps your data safe by storing multiple copies of your data in a cluster of IRONdb nodes. System administrators typically manage clustering, often spending significant time maintaining it and keeping it working. Circonus IRONdb allows operators to set and forget their cluster, and stop wasting resources manually managing their time series data store.
Data safety
Circonus IRONdb is deployed on ZFS and supports protection against data degradation. Any read of a block of data examines the checksum and will repair the read from a replica disk if bits have gone bad on the physical media.
Availability zones
Circonus IRONdb is capable of operating with data replicated across multiple availability zones. Circonus IRONdb can leverage 4 different availability zones to ensure survivability in double fault loss scenarios.
Achieve Industry-leading efficiency
Reduced Processing Needs
Free up valuable resources by dramatically reducing the number of nodes. Circonus IRONdb leads the market in terms of node efficiency, handling more metrics on equivalent hardware than any competitor or open source solution. In our work with Appnexus we were able to reduce hardware requirements by upwards of 75%.
Reduced Storage Costs
Access historical insights and improve mission critical decisions, without the associated high storage fees. Circonus’ patented histogram technology enables highly compressed storage of data at rest, thus reducing costs and ensuring efficient access to all your data.
Less Labor Intensive
More efficient software means less hardware to manage. Circonus enables you to free up engineering resources to contribute to your core business.
Circonus IRONdb has been designed to require minimal operator resources for maintenance tasks, such as adding, removing or replacing cluster nodes. Users can maintain a cluster with dozens of nodes cost-effectively and with minimal toil.
“At 42 Lines, we work with big data companies that seek our advice on the best way to store and analyze massive amounts of data. Circonus is one of the few time-series database vendors I recommend. Put simply, Circonus gets it right. The platform’s histograms, dedication to mathematical accuracy, and efficient data storage are the difference in allowing a company to gain the type of business insights that save money, minimize risk, and create better customer experiences.”
Interoperability and integrations
Circonus considers interoperability to be paramount in adapting your infrastructure. In addition to the native support for the Circonus application, IRONdb works seamlessly with these tools:
Circonus IRONdb is a drop-in solution for organizations struggling to scale Graphite data on ingestion, and that need interoperability, cost efficiency, high availability and capacity.
Circonus IRONdb easily integrates to provide needed real-time ingestion, interoperability, cost efficiency, high availability and capacity.
