Nextcloud customers will now be able to perform large deployments without hesitation and have a flexible, open source enterprise database
Stuttgart, March 22, 2022 – Nextcloud GmbH, the company behind the worlds’ most deployed on premise content collaboration platform, and MariaDB® Corporation announced a new partnership to bring Nextcloud customers a better database experience. With MariaDB Enterprise, users are guaranteed to have a reliable, scalable, high-performance database solution. Customers will be able to experience their data being utilized in collaborative applications like Nextcloud that fuel decision making across an organization.
A database is a critical component for a Nextcloud setup, key for performance, scalability and reliability. MariaDB offers customers the certainty that their database will not be a bottleneck for the productivity of their employees.
— Frank Karlitschek, CEO and founder of Nextcloud GmbH
Nextcloud is deployed at a large scale at some of its customers, servicing millions of users in a single cluster. This puts significant strain on the database, requiring not only scalability and performance but also high availability and robust failover.
MariaDB Enterprise is the complete open source database solution. It supports transactional, analytical and combination workloads as well as relational, JSON and hybrid data models. MariaDB Enterprise, which includes MariaDB MaxScale, can deploy standalone databases and data warehouses to fully distributed SQL, which executes millions of transactions per second and performs interactive, ad hoc analytics on billions of rows.
We’re excited to be partnering with Nextcloud to meet the ongoing needs from customers! Through our partnership, we’re making data readily available and even easier to access for applications and users with full security. With MariaDB Enterprise, Nextcloud customers are able to focus on growing their business without having to worry about the administrative overhead of infrastructure downtime, planned or unplanned.
— Jim Sears, VP Global Alliances, MariaDB
