<h2 id="blazing-fast">Blazing Fast</h2>
<p>ClickHouse's performance <a href="benchmark.html">exceeds</a> comparable column-oriented DBMS currently available
on the market. It&nbsp;processes hundreds of millions to more than a billion rows and tens of gigabytes of data
per single server per second.</p>
<p>ClickHouse uses all available hardware to its full potential to process each query as fast as possible. The peak
processing performance for a single query (after decompression, only used columns) stands at more than 2&nbsp;terabytes
per second.</p>
</div>
<div id="performance" class="colored-block">
<div class="page">
<h2>ClickHouse works 100-1,000x faster than traditional approaches</h2>
<p>In contrast to data management methods, where vast amounts of raw data in its native format are available as
a "data lake" for any
given query, ClickHouse, in most cases, offers instant results: the data is processed faster than it&nbsp;takes
to make a query. Follow the link to see detailed benchmarks in comparison with other database management
systems.</p>

<h2 id="linearly-scalable">Linearly Scalable</h2>
<p>ClickHouse allows companies to add servers to their clusters when necessary without investing time or money into
additional DBMS modification. The system has been successfully serving <a href="https://metrica.yandex.com/">Yandex.Metrica</a>,
while the servers just in its main cluster, located in six geographically distributed datacenters, have grown
from 60 to 394 in two years.</p>
<p>ClickHouse scales well both vertically and horizontally. ClickHouse is easily adaptable to perform both on
hundreds of node clusters, and on a single server or even virtual machine. It&nbsp;currently has installations
with more than two trillion rows per single node, as well as installations with 100 TB of storage per single
node.</p>
<h2 id="hardware-efficient">Hardware Efficient</h2>
<p>ClickHouse processes typical analytical queries two to three orders of magnitude faster than traditional
row-oriented systems with the same available IO throughput. The systems columnar format allows fitting more hot
data in the servers RAM, which leads to a shorter response time.</p>
<p>ClickHouse allows to minimize number of seeks for range queries, which increases efficiency of using rotational
drives, as it&nbsp;maintains locality of reference for stored data continually.</p>
<p>ClickHouse is CPU efficient because of its vectorized query execution and runtime code generation.</p>
<p>By minimizing data transfers for most types of queries, ClickHouse enables companies to manage their data and
create reports without using a network that supports high-performance computing.</p>

<p>ClickHouse supports multi-master asynchronous replication and can be deployed across multiple datacenters.
Downtime of a single node or the whole datacenter wont affect the systems availability for reads and
writes.
Distributed reads are automatically balanced to live replicas without increasing latency. Replicated data
are
synchronized automatically or semi-automatically after the downtime.</p>

<p>ClickHouse features a number of built-in user-friendly web analytics capabilities, including probabilistic data
structures for fast and memory-efficient calculation of cardinalities and quantiles, or functions for addressing
URLs and IPs (both IPv4 and IPv6) as well as identifying dates, times and time zones.</p>
<p>Data management methods available in ClickHouse, such as arrays, array joins and nested data structures, are
extremely efficient for managing denormalized data.</p>
<p>Using ClickHouse allows joining both distributed data and co-located data, as the system supports local joins and
distributed joins. It&nbsp;also offers an opportunity to use external dictionaries, dimension tables loaded from
an external source, for seamless joins.</p>
<p>ClickHouse supports approximate query processing you can get results as fast as you want, which is
indispensable when dealing with terabytes and petabytes of data.</p>
<p>The systems conditional aggregate functions, calculation of totals and extremes, allow getting results with a
single query without having to run a number of them.</p>

<h2 id="simple-and-handy">Simple and Handy</h2>
<p>ClickHouse streamlines all your data processing. Its easy to use: ingest all your structured data into the
system, and it&nbsp;is instantly available for reports. New columns for new properties or dimensions can be
easily added to the system at any time without slowing it&nbsp;down.</p>
<p>ClickHouse is simple and works out-of-the-box. As well as performing on hundreds of node clusters, this system
can be easily installed on a single server or even a virtual machine. No development experience or code-writing
skills are required to install ClickHouse.</p>
<h2 id="highly-reliable">Highly Reliable</h2>
<p>ClickHouse has been managing petabytes of data serving a number of highload mass audience services of Russias
leading search provider and one of Europes largest IT companies, <a href="https://www.yandex.com/company/"
rel="external nofollow">Yandex</a>.
Since 2012, ClickHouse has been providing robust database management for the companys <a
href="https://metrica.yandex.com/" rel="external nofollow">web analytics service</a>, comparison
shopping platform, email
service, online advertising platform, business intelligence and infrastructure monitoring.</p>
<p>ClickHouse is purely distributed system located on independent nodes, which has no single point of failure.</p>
<p>Software or hardware failures or misconfigurations do not result in loss of data. Instead of deleting "broken"
data, ClickHouse saves it&nbsp;or asks you what to do before a startup. All data are checksummed before every
read or write to disk or network. It&nbsp;is virtually impossible to delete data by accident.</p>
<p>ClickHouse offers flexible limits on query complexity and resource usage, which can be fine-tuned using settings.
It&nbsp;is possible to simultaneously serve both a number of high priority low-latency requests and some
long-running queries with lowered priority.</p>
