# Expand Cluster

Learn how to add new nodes to an existing on-premises database cluster.

A significant feature in CrateDB is that it can scale horizontally, which means
that instead of adding more RAM, CPU, and disk resources to existing nodes, you
will add more individual nodes to your CrateDB cluster.

By running your database cluster on multiple nodes, you will gain two benefits.

- Store data volumes larger than being able to be handled on a single machine.
- Add resiliency to your distributed database cluster, by increasing the number
of replica nodes.

The article about [how to add new nodes to an existing cluster] walks you
through the process of scaling up your database cluster.
