No. OrientDB adheres to the [NoSQL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL) movement even though it supports a subset of [[SQL]] as query language. In this way it's easy to start using it without having to learn too much new stuff. OrientDB is a [Document Database](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document-oriented_database) but has the best features of other DBMSs. For example relationships are handled as in [Graph Databases](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database).

The most common reason applications scale out badly is, very often, the database. The database is the bottleneck of most applications. OrientDB scales out very well on a single machine. A single server does the work of about 125 servers running [MySQL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysql). The transactional engine can run in distributed systems supporting up to 302,231,454,903,657 billion (2^78) records for the maximum capacity of 19,807,040,628,566,084 Terabytes of data distributed on multiple disks in multiple nodes.

## I can't believe it! Why is it so fast?

OrientDB has been designed to be very fast. It inherits the best features and concepts from Object Databases, Graph DBMS and modern [NoSQL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoSQL) engines. Furthermore it uses the own **MVRB-Tree** algorithm as a mix of [Red-Black Tree](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-black_tree) and [B+Tree](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%2Btree). MVRB-Tree consumes about half memory of the [Red-Black Tree](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-black_tree) implementation maintaining the original speed while it balances the tree on insertion/update. Furthermore the MVRB-Tree allows fast retrieving and storing of nodes in persistent way.
