Challenge
The Trend Micro GIS team provide real-time 24×7 security protection to their customers. Keeping their products highly available is crucial to their business and reputation. When it comes to critical infrastructure incidents, it is important that the GIS team can identify the precise root cause of issues and take instant steps towards resolution.
The Solution
Insight into MySQL and MongoDB is important to the GIS team, as they need to ensure that any Trend Micro products underpinned by this software are stable and highly available. These products need to be built with advanced high availability and replication capabilities.
Percona help the GIS team follow configuration best practice at both the operating system and database levels, review database upgrades and migration steps, and provide a deep database knowledge base to help them troubleshoot unexpected issues.
In addition to overall database insight, Trend Micro’s GIS team utilizes several of Percona’s popular open-source database maintenance tools. Widely used by the MySQL community, these include:
- Percona XtraBackup – for physical backup of huge MySQL databases
- pt-table-checksum – for data consistency verification
- pt-mysql-summary – for collecting important metric for troubleshooting
Finally, Trend Micro’s GIS team benefit from Percona’s critical database incident support. If there is a database incident, the GIS team must identify the root cause and repair the database system immediately. By using Percona’s technical support, they reduced their troubleshooting time by 50%, and created a solution mitigation plan to quickly find and fix issues.
