MariaDB Enterprise Platform offers robust high availability and disaster recovery solutions comparable to proprietary databases like Oracle, ensuring business continuity and data protection for your mission-critical applications.

MariaDB provides multimaster node clustering, similar to Oracle RAC but without the need for an expensive SAN, as well as semi-synchronous replication and active standby databases, comparable to Oracle Active Data Guard and Microsoft SQL Server availability groups.
MariaDB MaxScale, our advanced database proxy, automatically promotes a secondary database and reroutes queries if the primary database fails.
MaxScale goes beyond basic failover by seamlessly transferring active connections and sessions to the new primary database, preventing application interruptions.
Like Oracle Application Continuity, MariaDB can restore in-flight transactions after a failover, ensuring data integrity and preventing data loss.
Shields applications from underlying topology changes, so developers don’t need to write complex code to handle database or server failures.
Prevent denial of service (DoS) and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks by blocking or stopping malicious queries, ensuring continuous availability.
The example topology below demonstrates how MariaDB delivers high availability and read scalability through multimaster clustering and adaptive routing. Three database instances form a cluster, with read/write splitting directing write operations to the primary node while distributing read operations across all nodes for optimal load balancing.
