Case Study: European Broadcasting Union achieves high-availability database management with Severalnines ClusterControl

European Broadcasting Union saves one full-time DBA per year with Severalnines

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), a leading alliance of public service media, faced a challenge for its small IT team to manage the infrastructure for its high-quality web services, which were powered by 16 open source databases, especially during high-demand viewing events. The EBU sought world-class technology and expertise to ensure around-the-clock availability. They selected Severalnines and its ClusterControl product for a solution.

Severalnines implemented its ClusterControl platform to automate, manage, and monitor all of the EBU's database clusters through a single dashboard. This provided the IT team with real-time insights to promptly address performance issues. The solution enabled the EBU to focus on new business initiatives and saved them the cost of hiring one full-time database administrator per year, while ensuring their backend was completely protected.
