Enterprise Edition Features

The Enterprise Edition has all the features of the Community Edition and, on top of that, the features outlined below. For additional information, see arangodb.com/enterprise-server/ .

Performance

• SmartGraphs: Value-based sharding of large graph datasets for better data locality when traversing graphs.

• EnterpriseGraphs: A specialized version of SmartGraphs, with an automatic sharding key selection.

• SmartGraphs using SatelliteCollections: Collections replicated on all cluster nodes can be combined with graphs sharded by document attributes to enable more local execution of graph queries.

• SatelliteGraphs: Graphs replicated on all cluster nodes to execute graph traversals locally.

• SatelliteCollections: Collections replicated on all cluster nodes to execute joins with sharded data locally.

• SmartJoins: Co-located joins in a cluster using identically sharded collections.

• OneShard: Option to store all collections of a database on a single cluster node, to combine the performance of a single server and ACID semantics with a fault-tolerant cluster setup.

• Traversal Parallelization: Parallel execution of traversal queries with many start vertices, leading to faster results.

• Traversal Projections: Optimized data loading for AQL traversal queries if only a few document attributes are accessed.

• Parallel index creation: Non-unique indexes can be created with multiple threads in parallel.

• minhash Analyzer: Jaccard similarity approximation for entity resolution, such as for finding duplicate records, based on how many elements they have in common

• geo_s2 Analyzer: Efficiently index geo-spatial data using different binary formats, tuning the size on disk, the precision, and query performance.

• ArangoSearch column cache: Always cache field normalization values, Geo Analyzer auxiliary data, stored values, primary sort columns, and primary key columns in memory to improve the performance of Views and inverted indexes.

• Read from followers in clusters: Allow dirty reads so that Coordinators can read from any shard replica and not only from the leader, for scaling reads.

Querying

• Pregel in Cluster: Distributed iterative graph analytics for cluster deployments.

• Search highlighting: Get the substring positions of matched terms, phrases, or n-grams.

• Nested search: Match arrays of objects with all the conditions met by a single sub-object, and define for how many of the elements this must be true.

• Skip inaccessible collections: Let AQL queries like graph traversals pretend that collections are empty if the user has no access to them instead of failing the query.

Security

• DC2DC: Datacenter-to-Datacenter Replication for disaster recovery.

• Auditing: Audit logs of all server interactions.

• LDAP Authentication: ArangoDB user authentication with an LDAP server.

• Encryption at Rest: Hardware-accelerated on-disk encryption for your data.

• Encrypted Backups: Data dumps can be encrypted using a strong 256-bit AES block cipher.

• Hot Backups: Consistent, incremental data backups without downtime for single servers and clusters.

• Enhanced Data Masking: Extended data masking capabilities for attributes containing sensitive data / PII when creating backups.

• Advanced Encryption and Security Configuration: Key rotation for JWT secrets and on-disk encryption, as well as Server Name Indication (SNI).
