Case Study: Blue Light Card achieves easier MySQL database management with Severalnines ClusterControl

Blue Light Card deploys ClusterControl in under a month to simplify MySQL automation

Blue Light Card, a discount service for UK emergency services and NHS personnel, faced challenges managing their complex and growing MySQL database infrastructure. Their setup relied on fragile custom scripts and manual processes, requiring high expertise and creating single points of failure. They needed a solution to automate operations, simplify management for their entire IT team, and ensure high availability. They turned to Severalnines and its product ClusterControl for a solution.

Severalnines' ClusterControl provided Blue Light Card with comprehensive database automation, replacing their custom scripts and enabling easy cluster recovery and monitoring. The solution was implemented in under a month, allowing the entire team to assist with administration and reducing the burden on their subject matter expert. The vendor's tool also delivered valuable analysis and reporting, identifying previously unknown problems, and provided peace of mind with automated, tested backups.
