"ClustrixDB is key to our disruptive strategy. Affiliate marketing is transaction-intensive and requires fast response times, and ClustrixDB delivers the performance and scale we require," said Thomas Dietzel, Afftrack CEO. "We guarantee 'five nines' uptime, so ClustrixDB's fault tolerance and high availability are critical to delivering reliable and innovative services to our affiliate marketing customers."

Scalability enables flat, predictable pricing model
Afftrack's success has been driven by their flat-fee pricing model and all-in-one solution for affiliate marketers. Affiliate marketing tracking platform prices are typically based on the cost per thousand clicks (CPM). Afftrack's new pricing model, on the other hand, gives advertisers the ability to run a virtually unlimited number of affiliate marketing campaigns for one low, predictable price. Afftrack's popularity has created the opportunity for expansion and ClustrixDB is critical to their ability to rapidly respond to that escalating demand. By replacing MySQL with ClustrixDB, Afftrack can now add servers and scale performance as their new pricing model grows their business.

"Afftrack has an industry-leading platform for planning, managing and optimizing affiliate marketing campaigns," said Mike Azevedo, Clustrix CEO. "To make affiliate marketing work, the platform and the supporting database has to deal with billions of transactions and still respond to a user click in milliseconds. Clustrix is excited by their success, and our enablement of this  new, disruptive pricing model is evidence of the possibilities offered by scale-out RDBMS. "
