Xeround.com has a Cloud database service, specifically MySQL cloud.

Xeround is an elastic, always-on database-as-a-service for your MySQL applications.

  • Scalability & Elasticity – Scale up or out automatically (currently support up to 50GB of data)
  • Maintain High Availability.
  • Available for both public and private clouds.

With the rise of cloud computing and “big data”, database scalability issues are becoming critical to the growth and success of many applications. Xeround’s vision is to enable truly scalable and elastic cloud computing infrastructure by providing the missing piece: elastic data management within a cloud and data federation across clouds.

Xeround’s Highly-Available Architecture:

Xeround is a distributed cloud database. Its availability is guaranteed because it doesn’t have any single point of failure and because all the system components are automatically replicated and distributed across several cloud servers for failover purposes.

Xeround’s technology allows for arbitrarily setting the number of data replicas that the service manages, as well as the role each plays and the location each resides in. Today our service is offered with two active-active replicas, with additional high availability options offered soon.

Xeround’s Auto-Healing Capabilities:

If a cloud server fails, all the data is still available in the surviving replicas and the DB is operational. As the self-healing process kicks in, replacement servers are acquired on-the-fly and re-sync is executed from the remaining replicas.

Under the Hood:

Availability via Redundancy

Xeround’s distributed database-as-a-service architecture consists of three separate functional layers working in tandem to provide the service. Each layer is multiplied and automatically replicated so it is independently highly available – so the service is always maintained:
