Because Hydrolix query infrastructure is decoupled from storage and collection, you can quickly scale query pools up or down. Small query pools give you consistent low-cost queries, while large pools give you consistent low-latency queries.

You can create separate query pools for different groups of users. For example, you might configure separate sandboxes for administrator, interactive analyst, and monitoring queries.

Pool groups support independent scaling, so the capacity for each pool can adjust automatically to satisfy demand. You can even scale an entire pool to zero when demand is negligible–for example, over the weekend when staff do not need to access data. When demand returns, you can scale the pool back up within minutes.
