Found Elasticsearch add-on available

Found provides fully hosted and managed Elasticsearch clusters; each cluster has reserved memory and storage ensuring predictable performance. The HTTPS API is developer-friendly and existing Elasticsearch libraries such as NEST, Tire, PyES and others work out of the box. The Elasticsearch API is unmodified, so for those with an existing Elasticsearch integration it is easy to get started.

For production and mission critical environments customers can opt for replication and automatic failover to a secondary site, protecting the cluster against unplanned downtime. Security has a strong focus: communication to and from the service is securely transmitted over HTTPS (SSL) and data is stored behind multiple firewalls and proxies. Clusters run in isolated containers (LXC) and customisable ACLs allow for restricting access to trusted people and hosts.

In the event of a datacenter failure, search clusters are automatically failed over to a working datacenter or, in case of a catastrophic event, completely rebuilt from backup.

Co-founder Alex Brasetvik says: "Found provides a solution for companies who are keen to use Elasticsearch but not overly keen to spend their time and money on herding servers! We provide our customers with complete cluster control: they can scale their clusters up or down at any time, according to their immediate needs. It's effortless and there's zero downtime."
