Architecture & Design

Percona's mainstay is strategic advice to customers on how to architect and design their MySQL systems. Our goal is to deal with your system as a whole, covering all of its components and not just the database piece. Fitting the right pieces together in the right ways is crucial for your success.

Typical concerns are how to plan ahead for maximum uptime, high usage growth, increasing data volumes, and realistic backups. Frequent MySQL topics are data schemas, storage engines, indexing strategies, and tuning parameters. Non-database topics include servers, storage devices, memory, and operating systems. Other topics may include Nagios, memcached, DRBD, heartbeat, Maatkit and other frequent components of successful MySQL installations.

Architecture and design help may be used when planning for all new deployments, system renovations, migrations, or anytime in your system's lifecycle. You can work with our consultants either on-site or remotely, as best fits your situation. As always, you have no upfront obligation to Percona, but can start, pause, or discontinue working with us at any time.
