The Problem

Solera relies on Percona Expert Support for MySQL and MongoDB. Most recently, they enlisted help from Percona to save costs and optimize their database performance by migrating their PostgreSQL database from Pivotal Cloud Foundry database services to Percona PostgreSQL v12 Patroni Cluster, on virtual machines.

 

The Solution

Solera worked with the Percona Expert Consulting and Services team to conduct research into the best database for Solera’s needs and to identify opportunities for improvement. Following this, Solera adopted Percona PostgreSQL Distribution, which provides them with advanced open source database performance and tools.

The Percona Expert Consulting and Services team identifies and solves any bottlenecks and issues across multiple open source database technologies, ensuring Solera’s databases are stable, scalable, and highly available.
