Case Study: Knorr-Bremse achieves highly available, zero-downtime database operations with Severalnines ClusterControl

Knorr-Bremse Group - Customer Case Study

Knorr-Bremse, a leading global manufacturer of braking systems, needed to eliminate database downtime that could disrupt its 24/7 production processes. Their existing MySQL master-slave replication setup required manual failover and risked data loss during frequent server maintenance. They turned to Severalnines for a simplified, highly available database solution.

By implementing a Galera Cluster managed by Severalnines' ClusterControl, the vendor provided a high-availability solution with synchronous replication. This allowed Knorr-Bremse to perform maintenance on individual servers without any application impact and eliminated the risk of data loss. Since going live, the system has experienced zero downtime incidents, ensuring continuous data availability for critical manufacturing operations.
