Case Study: Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings achieves high availability for shipboard operations with MySQL Enterprise Edition

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings ensures 100% successful first revenue cruise with MySQL

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NCLH) faced the challenge of needing a highly available and scalable enterprise-grade database for a new shipboard property management system on its vessels. Using MySQL Community Edition initially, NCLH required a zero-downtime solution with robust fail-safe capabilities to prevent revenue loss on its new ships, starting with the Norwegian Aqua. They turned to the vendor MySQL for a solution.

NCLH implemented MySQL Enterprise Edition, utilizing an InnoDB Cluster for high availability. The solution provided seamless failover, met strict backup and regulatory requirements, and enabled scalable performance during high-demand periods. The vendor MySQL helped NCLH achieve a 100% successful database operation on the Norwegian Aqua's maiden voyage, ensuring maximum uptime for revenue-generating systems and paving the way for deployment across the entire new-build fleet.
