A significant feature in CrateDB is that it can scale horizontally, which means
5
+
that instead of adding more RAM, CPU, and disk resources to existing nodes, you
6
+
will add more individual nodes to your CrateDB cluster.

+
10
+
- Store data volumes larger than being able to be handled on a single machine.
11
+
- Add resiliency to your distributed database cluster, by increasing the number
12

of replica nodes.
