<p>ClickHouse uses all available hardware to its full potential to process each query as fast as possible. Peak processing performance for a single query stands at more than 2 terabytes per second <spanclass="text-muted">(after decompression, only used columns)</span>. In distributed setup reads are automatically balanced among healthy replicas to avoid increasing latency.</p>
<p>ClickHouse supports multi-master asynchronous replication and can be deployed across multiple datacenters. All nodes are equal, which allows avoiding having single points of failure. Downtime of a single node or the whole datacenter won't affect the system's availability for both reads and writes.</p>
<p>ClickHouse is simple and works out-of-the-box. It streamlines all your data processing: ingest all your structured data into the system and it becomes instantly available for building reports. SQL dialect allows expressing the desired result without involving any custom non-standard API that could be found in some alternative systems.</p>
<p>ClickHouse DBMS can be configured as a purely distributed system located on independent nodes, without any single points of failure. It also includes a lot of enterprise-grade security features and fail-safe mechanisms against human errors.</p>
