The Problem

AGENT511, familiar with Percona through its trusted cloud service provider partner, reached out to Percona in order to help its team deliver a clustering solution for this particular customer’s needs.

AGENT511 started with a Percona Architecture and Design review to determine options and the best path forward for their customer’s database needs. The review provided AGENT511 with a clear architecture and deployment strategy, as well as a clear path forward to deployment. After several consulting sessions, the team agreed upon a multidatacenter cluster to attain high availability and data integrity.

For AGENT511 customers, accessing corruption-free data is imperative – to both guarantee fault-free services and comply with industry and government regulations.
