ClusterControl brings flexible pay-as-you-go self-serve experience to on-prem workloads

Our brand promise, “Database ops your way”, rests on three pillars: accessibility, portability and selection. That is why we’re thrilled to share that ClusterControl’s powerful automation platform for managing on-prem and hybrid deployments is now available as a pay-as-you-go, monthly subscription!

Let’s dive into the details!

ClusterControl adds Self-Service plan for greater optionality

ClusterControl has launched a self-service plan to give ops teams enhanced flexibility and choice. This new pay-as-you-go option allows you to tailor your subscription to fit your specific needs while enjoying the robust database orchestration offered in our Advanced license.

What’s in it for you?

Especially for on-premises deployments, database automation has traditionally implied a significant upfront investment, often requiring annual commitments that lead to approval bottlenecks and unnecessary delays for teams eager to test and deploy new applications.

Our new license brings SaaS’s commercial flexibility to the on-prem world, providing:

• Affordability: From €750 per month (for 3-node cluster).
• Flexibility: A no-commitment, pay-as-you-go monthly subscription.
• Scalability: Packages can be purchased in either 3- or 5-node bundles.

Getting started with ClusterControl is easy – follow these four steps:

1. Sign up for and trial the Self-Service Plan for 30 days: Visit our pricing webpage and choose the self-service option to begin your pay-as-you-go journey.
2. Set up your ClusterControl environment: Install ClusterControl using your preferred method. For detailed instructions, check out our documentation.
3. Deploy your first database cluster: MySQL, Galera Cluster, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or any of our 6 other supported databases.
4. Begin monitoring and fine-tuning: Access your cluster dashboards directly from ClusterControl’s GUI.

Wrapping up

ClusterControl’s new pay-as-you-go plan breaks down adoption barriers, offering IT teams greater optionality without the constraints of annual commitments. Whether running a proof of concept, expanding a small production environment, or exploring new applications, this self-service option marries the flexibility and control of your on-prem workloads along with the ease and convenience of SaaS to start your journey to achieving true “database ops your way”.
