Case Study: Sphinx IT achieves cross-region multi-datacenter database resilience with Severalnines ClusterControl and Galera Cluster for MySQL

Sphinx IT - Customer Case Study

Sphinx Information Technology, an IT services provider, faced a challenge for its client ComplyWorks which was experiencing rapid growth. They needed a highly available database that could perform cross-region reads and writes while maintaining strong data consistency across multiple datacenters to minimize latency and eliminate downtime. The existing MySQL replication options were too fragile for this complex, multi-datacenter setup.

The solution was implemented using Severalnines to deploy and manage a Galera Cluster for MySQL. This provided a robust multi-master database that spanned datacenters 1000 km apart, handling the latency and ensuring data consistency. By using Severalnines' Configurator and ClusterControl tools, the team quickly set up the infrastructure, which became a key competitive advantage for their global clients who require geolocality and cannot afford any downtime.
