Operating at the forefront of cloud technology means that Pivotal’s technical environment is dynamic and demanding. Serving more than half of the Fortune 500, Pivotal customers have high expectations. Using a service broker abstraction, applications on PCF can bind to services, including databases. Development teams can self-provision services on demand to rapidly build the cloud environment that they need to support their applications.
A wide range of data services is made available through the PCF Services Marketplace. Pivotal based its latest release of MySQL for PCF on Percona Server for MySQL.
Pivotal team members are highly skilled. They possess advanced technical knowledge and can triage most of the service and support requests they receive. However, for exceptional cases where domain-specific expertise and a forensic approach to tracking MySQL issues is needed, Pivotal retained Percona to ensure experts are always available to support Pivotal’s most challenging database requests.
Ryan Jones, Pivotal’s Senior Manager of Product, says, “We handle the vast majority of cases ourselves, and that’s definitely our main objective. Knowing Percona experts are available for resolving complex challenges gives us complete confidence in our ability to manage all eventualities. When in-depth database knowledge is needed, we can turn to the Percona team for their specialist perspective.”
Pivotal first engaged Percona for the support of their MariaDB/ Galera cluster environments. Pivotal was impressed with the Percona team’s accurate and responsive performance when resolving some difficult challenges in database operations and management.
Pivotal then leveraged Percona’s expertise for the development of MySQL for PCF v2. Based on Percona Server for MySQL, MySQL for PCF v2 provides an on-demand database for developers that is easy to operate and manage. An important factor for Pivotal in adopting Percona Server for MySQL for PCF v2 is that the development roadmap for Percona Server for MySQL is closely aligned to that of the MySQL core product. The collaboration means that Pivotal can offer MySQL for PCF v2 users high quality database support should the need arise.
