# Scaling Clusters Up and Down
43

4+
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.
7+
8+
By running your database cluster on multiple nodes, you will gain two benefits.
9+
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.
