Q&A

I have got Phoenix running on top of my HBase deployment, is it supported? Sure, Gluesync doesn’t make use of any other component other than plain HBase. You can still make use of Phoenix while Gluesync migrates and offloads your data from the datastore.

My company has more than a Petabyte of data inside our deployment, does it work with Gluesync? How many resources do I have to dispose of to ensure it will work well? Resource amount is based on a few key driving factors:

  • Network bandwidth;

  • Storage performance;

  • CPU;

  • RAM.

We will take care of gathering these KPIs and provide you with the proper sizing of the needed resource allocation for the Gluesync instances. There is no amount of data that scares Gluesync: when properly sized your data will smoothly flow into the other end, consistently and safely.
