Case Study: AVG scales secure, highly available databases with Severalnines ClusterControl

AVG scales databases for 200 million users with Severalnines

AVG Technologies, a global security software company with over 200 million active users, needed a highly secure, scalable, and fault-tolerant database to centralize user information for its online services. Their previous MySQL replication setup was costly and difficult to manage. They turned to vendor Severalnines to find a solution that could scale easily, self-heal from failures, and simplify operations without causing downtime.

Severalnines provided its ClusterControl product to automate the deployment and management of a Galera Cluster with HAProxy. The solution was implemented quickly and provided an easy-to-use interface for operational tasks. As a result, AVG achieved a highly available MySQL environment that could scale to 20 times more capacity than their previous system, with automated upgrades and failover ensuring high performance and eliminating downtime.
