* Data Storage - Native storage structure with index-free adjacency results in faster transactions and processing. * Query Performance - Native processing ensures low latency and real-time performance, regardless of the number or depth of relationships. * Transaction Support - ACID transactions ensure data is fully consistent and reliable around the clock – perfect for always-on global enterprise applications. * Processing at Scale - Native graph model inherently scales for pattern-based queries. Scale out architecture maintains data integrity via replication. Massive scale up possibilities with IBM POWER8 and CAPI Flash systems.

* Elastic and linear scalability for a growing data and user base. * Data distribution and replication for performance and fault tolerance. * Multi-datacenter high availability and hot backups. * Support for ACID and eventual consistency. * Support for various storage backends: - Apache Cassandra - Apache HBase - Oracle BerkeleyDB * Support for global graph data analytics, reporting, and ETL * Support for geo, numeric range, and full-text search via ElasticSearch, Solr, and Lucene * Native integration with the TinkerPop graph stack
