# Dedicated Orchestra

**Orchestra** is Catchpoint's proprietary NoSQL time-series database for storing performance data. Catchpoint has two distinct varieties of Orchestra - one for Synthetic and one for RUM. Most customers share space in Orchestra backends, but a customer may be assigned a dedicated Orchestra, which is not shared. There are several benefits to using a dedicated Orchestra:

1. **Increased API call limits :** A dedicated Orchestra can process more API calls within a given timeframe, so API limits are increased. This is largely due to load distribution across servers.

The API limits with purchase of a dedicated Orchestra are as below.

- API v1 - (30/minute, 1500/hour, 30,000/day)
- API v2 - (90/minute, 3000/hour, 40,000/day)

1. **Longer data storage - 3 years by default.** (Can be increased to 5 years upon request)
2. **Full isolation of customer data:** When using a dedicated orchestra, your data is housed in its own partition, improving data security.
3. **Option to destroy data:** Deleted data can potentially be recovered, whereas destroyed data cannot. This option is particularly beneficial for confidential information.
4. **Higher Dashboard limits (up to 250 dashboards)**: Dashboards consume significant amounts of memory, as large amounts of data must be fetched from various sources (errors, alerts, test data, etc..) A dedicated Orchestra provides more memory space, thus enabling support for more Dashboards.
5. **Dedicated analytics system:** Removes security and performance risks of a shared analytics backend system.
6. **Increased Insight limits (up to 30 Tracepoints and 30 Indicators)**
7. **Increased Index limit (up to 30 Indexes)**
