# Managed ClickHouse®: Real-Time Analytics, Fully Managed in Europe

<p class="">Real-time analytics shouldn't mean running your own database cluster. <b>Managed ClickHouse®</b> brings the fastest open-source column-oriented (OLAP) database to Exoscale as a fully managed service: run sub-second SQL queries on billions of rows while provisioning, scaling, backups, monitoring and upgrades are handled for you, on <a href="https://www.exoscale.com/compliance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GDPR-compliant</a> European infrastructure.</p>
