Case Study: KDDI Corporation prevents service downtime with MySQL InnoDB Cluster from Oracle

KDDI cuts failure recovery time by 80% with MySQL

KDDI Corporation, a comprehensive telecommunications carrier, faced challenges in managing and ensuring the availability of its many databases. With a limited number of in-house database experts and varying skill levels among external partners, database failures were causing lengthy service outages. To strengthen quality control for its approximately 1,000 systems, KDDI sought a solution from vendor MySQL that could guarantee high availability and reliability for its general-purpose databases in a cost-effective way.

By implementing MySQL InnoDB Cluster and MySQL Enterprise Edition, MySQL provided a solution that automated failover and recovery processes. This eliminated service downtime caused by database issues and reduced failure recovery time by over 80%, from nearly an hour to about ten minutes in some cases. The MySQL solutions also enabled high-quality monitoring and backup operations independent of the operator's skill level, allowing KDDI to internalize database administration successfully.
