MariaDB Enterprise Server
MariaDB Enterprise Server is an enhanced, hardened and secured version of MariaDB Community Server created to provide customers with enterprise reliability, stability and long-term support as well as greater operational efficiency when it comes to managing large database deployments for business- and mission-critical applications.
Enhanced
Improvements to auditing, backups, clustering, federation, replication and storage allow DBAs to fully secure databases and avoid downtime.
Hardened
Further testing and enterprise documentation incorporates fixes and workarounds to bugs and issues found in MariaDB Community Server.
Secured
The default configuration maximizes security and durability to ensure production deployments are safe, and all non-GA plugins are removed.
Enterprise Features
Enterprise Audit
Collect detailed connection information and create granular audit rules and templates using JSON documents stored in system tables.
Enterprise Backup
Take backups on large databases without blocking writes and interrupting applications, or blocking important schema changes.
Enterprise Cluster
Deploy secure multi-master clusters with encrypted transaction buffers and default configurations optimized for production.
MariaDB MaxScale
MariaDB MaxScale is an advanced database proxy for MariaDB Enterprise Server, providing it with enterprise high availability, scalability, security and integration services while at the same time abstracting away the underlying database infrastructure to simplify application development and database administration.
Scalability
Intelligent query routing and adaptive load balancing simplify application development and improve query performance.
High availability
Automatic failover with transaction replay ensures applications are not interrupted, or even aware of, an infrastructure failure.
Integration
Redis can be used to cache query results to improve performance while Kafka can be used to publish data changes to external systems.
Security
Prevent data breaches and protect sensitive/personal information with full end-to-end encryption and dynamic data masking.
Upgrades
Workload capture and replay, and diff router features let customers mimic production workloads on a test system before upgrading to a new database version in order to identify any potential performance or stability impact.
MariaDB ColumnStore
MariaDB ColumnStore extends MariaDB Enterprise Server with distributed, columnar storage and massively parallel processing (MPP), transforming it into a standalone or distributed data warehouse for interactive, ad hoc analytics on billions of rows without the need to create indexes – and with standard SQL.
Columnar
Data is stored in a columnar format for fast analytics and with up to 90% compression, reducing disk I/O and size of data on disk.
Distributed
Data can be distributed across multiple database instances and queried in parallel to increase query performance and support massive datasets.
Cloud native
Data can be stored on Amazon S3 compatible object storage, on premises or in the cloud, to benefit from low-cost, unlimited storage.
Modern analytics
Standard SQL
Analyze billions of rows and hundreds of terabytes of data with standard SQL, including joins with other tables (row or columnar).
Kafka and Spark connectors
Use Kafka and Spark connectors to ingest streaming data and publish machine learning results for interactive, ad hoc analysis.
Direct data loading
CLI import tools as well as C, Java and Python connectors bypass the SQL layer to load data directly to storage from anywhere.
