SpringCM scales by using DataStax Enterprise + HP MoonshotWith an equivalent capital investment (comparisons to DL360s) :
• Write Events
- 3X the capacity to execute workflow steps (10X more than SQL)
- Nearly 100% reduction in locking events on object metadata
- 3X increase in capacity to apply metadata to objects (Due to locking avoidance, 30X more than SQL)
• Deletion Events
- Nearly transparent ability to delete rows on a retention schedule because of TTL capability
• Read Event
- General ability is 6-7X faster during high read load periods
- During equivalent read-to-write load periods, it’s about 4X faster
