MariaDB Enterprise Cluster (Powered by Galera) an open source active-active, multi-primary synchronous replication solution for MariaDB Enterprise Server in combination with MariaDB MaxScale, provides high availability, scalability and automated failover for mission-critical transactional workloads. MariaDB Enterprise Cluster provides parallel replication and data consistency across all nodes and automatically manages the identification and removal of failed nodes as well as recovering and rejoining new nodes. With MariaDB Enterprise Cluster, there’s no chance of lost transactions and significant replica lag or client latency.
Why Choose Galera Cluster
Fault tolerance
If one or more MariaDB Enterprise Server nodes fail, the remaining nodes continue to operate and failed nodes are automatically taken offline, repaired and reintroduced into the cluster – all without intervention from the application level.
Multi-primary
While MariaDB Enterprise Platform primary/replica topologies with MaxScale optimize for read-intensive applications, MariaDB Enterprise Cluster is multi-primary – all nodes accept write and read operations and synchronize to ensure data consistency across all nodes.
Geographically distributed data
Replicated nodes can be placed across a wide area network (WAN), and combined with asynchronous replication, will improve performance and reduce response times for end-user web services.
Customer Stories
High Availability with Multi-Primary Clustering and Automatic Failover
In the example topology below, a mission-critical transactional workload is supported through MariaDB MaxScale, Enterprise Server and Galera Cluster, consisting of five database nodes and MariaDB MaxScale to support front-end load balancing and automatic failover.
