Case Study: VM Farms achieves high-performance, scalable 24x7 database operations with Percona OSS

VM Farms - Customer Case Study

VM Farms is a Toronto-based provider of 24x7 Operations as a Service and cloud hosting for startups and tech firms (including Wave Accounting and TribeHR). Because database server management is central to its offering, VM Farms needed a high-performance, reliable MySQL-compatible stack that could support always-on, growing customer workloads without adding operational complexity.

VM Farms standardized on Percona open source software—Percona Server, Percona XtraBackup and Percona Toolkit—gaining faster, more consistent queries, non-blocking hot backups and online schema changes. After three years the company manages more than 200 Percona instances, delivers high uptimes, supports large sharded databases and thousands of backups without downtime, and recommends Percona to customers for improved stability and easier administration.
