CCX is a Database as a Service (DBaaS) built on the capabilities of ClusterControl that enables users to deploy and access managed, secured, MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL database clusters.

CCX offers preconfigured and highly available deployments for MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL without complex deployment scripts, manual configuration, or multiple tools for monitoring, backup management, and other maintenance tasks. CCX gives you better insight into managed database clusters’ operational status and offers more advanced traffic control than most other vendors.

MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL

ClusterControl provides the ability to fully manage your databases on your own hardware, while CCX is a database service that is fully managed by Severalnines.

It takes about 20 minutes.

Currently we work on AWS with 5 regions including Stockholm, Paris, London, Ireland and Frankfurt for you to select. We will have more coming soon.

Not at present.

We currently limit the number of clusters that can be deployed by new users. Please contact us if you would like to deploy more clusters.

There are two support tiers - Standard and Premium. Please see the support page for details

Every CCX production deployment comes with an industry-leading SLA and 24/7 expert global support. Our support team proactively monitors deployments to ensure both uptime and performance.

Database clusters can be deployed across multiple Availability Zones. If a database is corrupted or lost, CCX provides access to hourly and daily backups that can be easily restored with a couple of clicks. Each CCX deployment has automated failover enabled to reduce downtime caused by outages. If the servers experience downtime, our support team will monitor the system and provide updates to alert when the hardware is functioning again.
