Challenge

Lack of high availability in AWS

Lack of high availability in AWS. The challenge this customer was facing came from using AWS, which allowed them to rapidly provision database and application servers - but the instances, underlying storage, and management interface were not highly available.

Solution

The solution uses a Pod Architecture with multiple 3-node Active Clusters (for HA) and 3-node Passive Clusters (for DR). The Pod Architecture provides practically infinite scalability for the SaaS providers as they can just keep adding new Pods when and as their customer base grows. Each Pod includes a 3-node Tungsten cluster deployed in multi-AZ AWS, and a 3-node DR cluster deployed in another AWS Region with all sensitive traffic encrypted in flight (this covers application traffic as well).
