It allows a reliable database running with excessively high availability
The Galera cluster open source technology is used to replicate MySQL and MariaDB databases to three or more nodes. This minimises the risk of interrupting data writing.

Galera cluster vs. common database backup
Galera Cluster database replication
- Replication starts instantly, no delays
- Data are identical in all of the nodes
- Regardless of HW failure, database is immediately fully functional and available.
- New data are recorded even if one of the nodes fails.
- As for unintentional data overwriting, the data are written over in all nodes.
Common database backup
- Backups are performed regularly with a certain time interval
- The backed up data do not contain changes since the last replication
- The database must be restored to be in “active” mode
- Before recovery, the data have nowhere to be written to and will be irreversibly lost
- If the data are accidentally overwritten, they can be restored from the backup
How does Galera work?
Galera cluster enables replication of databases to individual nodes in active/active mode as well as in active/passive mode. In active/active mode, all nodes are ready to write and read at the same time. In active/passive mode the data are written primarily to the active node and then to the passive nodes, which act as a replacement in the event of a hardware failure.
We will build a custom Galera Cluster for you
In terms of cluster for highly available databases, we are to able to either build it completely, consult or provide you with the cluster solution monitoring. We also provide database optimisation or performance balancing between individual nodes using load balancing.

A new data center dedicated to artificial intelligence will be built in Kanice, near Brno, Czech Republic. MasterDC plans to begin operations in the autumn of 2026 in a former military complex that includes telecommunication fallout shelters. The site stands out mainly for its high level of security.
Support for microservices, highly available NFS or building private clusters. This is just part of the reasons that led us at MasterDC to deploy software-defined storage on vSAN for the cloud. What else will the new architecture provide to customers?
If you are considering which virtualisation server to choose but are not familiar with the differences between the technologies, this article might be of help. You will get to know which basic virtualisation types exist and what the difference between KVM and LXC virtualisation, which are generally used for VPS servers in MasterDC, is.
