Based on usage patterns, Polaris projects can be paused to reduce project costs and resumed quickly for use at a later time.

Frequently asked questions

Starter project is a Polaris environment designed primarily for functional evaluation of the product. It offers 25GB of project capacity at variable performance, with a minimum 4 vCPU and 16GB RAM. We strongly recommend against using a starter project for performance testing or for production deployments.

New signups for Imply Polaris will receive $500 in credits that can be used over 30 days, either for starter project or a standard A.01 or D.04 project. During this trial period, customers don’t have to enter any credit card information and they won’t be charged for data ingestion or file storage.

Once the trial expires, customers have 30-days to enter their credit card information to continue using Polaris and upgrade to a standard or custom project. If no credit card is entered, then Imply will delete the organization and associated data.

We recommend selecting an Imply Polaris tier whose data capacity satisfies the data storage requirement of your use case. If you are not sure of your use case data sizing then signup for a free trial to ingest and size the data. You can also contact us to discuss your use case, schemas, queries, and tables for an accurate recommendation.

Yes, you can scale up or down your Imply Polaris tier at any time. You can pause an existing project to save costs and resume it later when you are ready to use it.

Yes, we support use cases that require more than 10 TB capacity via custom projects. Contact Imply for your custom project sizing requirements.

Imply Polaris follows a consumption-based model. We meter the following components:
  • Selected Imply Polaris tier ($/hr)
  • Batch and Streaming Data Ingested ($/GB)
  • File Storage ($/GB-month)

Your Imply Polaris monthly bill is based on resources consumption and calculated as below:
  • Selected Imply Polaris tier list price * # of hours in the month
  • Batch data ingestion list price * batch data ingested during the month (in GBs)
  • Streaming data ingestion list price * streaming data ingested during the month (in GBs)
  • File storage list price * data stored (in GB-month)

Pay-as-you-go plan has no upfront costs or annual commitments. Customers enter their credit card information in Polaris and they are automatically charged for their Polaris usage at the end of each month.

Verification/authentication is required for any users accessing your account and the data within (includes support for SSO). Role-based access for controlling user access to all elements/functions in the application. All data stored in Imply Polaris is encrypted using AES-256 strong encryption. All data in transit to Imply Polaris uses industry best practice recommendations for strong encryption (TLS 1.2).

Yes, Imply provides standard level of support by default with Polaris. Customers who need higher level of support and quicker response times can upgrade to mission-critical level of support (see Support Terms for details). Please work with your Imply sales representative to understand pricing for mission-critical support.
