The latest DCS Clusters now support multiple sharding specifications, enabling you to scale your DCS Cluster instances like never before! The new sharding options - or data partitioning, allows DCS Cluster instances to distribute cache data across multiple nodes, improving performance, fault tolerance and throughput.
Advantages of DCS Sharding:
- Horizontal Scalability: Effortlessly distribute your data across multiple DCS Cluster nodes to accommodate growing workloads and datasets.
- High Availability: Improve fault tolerance with replication and automatic failover to ensure your applications stay up and running.
- Improved Performance: DCS automatically balances the load across nodes, ensuring that your queries are handled efficiently, reducing latency.
