What is the Challenge?
Active/Active (multi-master) MySQL clustering is needed when there is significant update load on geographically distributed applications. These require fast response times both for updates and reads, and they also need to share data on a global scale.
- Regional distribution of data
- Deliver up-to-date data to clients as quickly as possible
- Fast, site-local read response times
- Zero downtime for planned maintenance
- Automatic High Availability within a region
Our customer needed to deploy multi-master MySQL with the following design criteria:
- Geographically distributed, low-latency data
- Fast local response times for read & write traffic
- Full ACID compliance - atomic operations, guaranteed consistency, isolation, and durability
- Local automated, rapid failover for database high availability
What is the Solution?
This customer uses Tungsten Clustering within three (3) geographic locations – US, Europe and Asia. Each location is configured with two (2) 3-node Tungsten CMM (composite multi-master) clusters and each geographic region is independent of the other with select common shared data. In short … the solution architecture:
- Geo-distributed Composite Multi-Master Tungsten clusters
- Three pairs of active/active MySQL clusters in USA, EMEA and APAC
- Three (3) nodes per cluster, six (6) nodes per region, 18 nodes for the whole geo-cluster
- Running on Amazon AWS EC2 instances in VPC’s
What are the Benefits?
Geo-scale, Availability, Disaster Recovery
- Low-latency, regionally geo-distributed data access providing fast response times for read traffic and local, rapid-failover and automated high availability
- Maintain client connectivity for planned and unplanned maintenance activities
- Simple administration, system visibility and stability also help create high return on investment
- Rapid Replication across regions
