Case Study: CNRS achieves high availability and scalable database automation with Severalnines ClusterControl

CNRS - Customer Case Study

The CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), Europe's largest fundamental research organization, faced a challenge in supporting its growing number of critical LAMP applications. Their existing standalone MySQL instances could not meet new demands for 24/7 high availability, extreme scalability for hundreds of thousands of users, and robust performance without requiring dedicated database administrators.

Severalnines provided its ClusterControl management tool to operate a new MariaDB Galera Cluster environment. The solution enabled a painless migration with no application code changes, delivered high availability, and handled extreme traffic without service interruption. The successful implementation led to peace of mind and a strong return on investment, prompting the CNRS to standardize all future LAMP applications on this solution managed by Severalnines.
