NHN Cloud said on May 20 it will provide database management system (DBMS) specialist TmaxTibero’s high-availability database clustering solution, Tibero Active Cluster (TAC), in a cloud environment.

TAC is based on active-active clustering technology that runs multiple servers simultaneously. With multiple database servers all active, it processes the same tasks at the same time and ensures data safety and service continuity when failures occur. It is seen as having higher resource efficiency and stability than an active-standby approach that rotates servers at set intervals.

NHN Cloud said it successfully moved TAC to the cloud after optimising TAC’s high-performance shared storage and dedicated network interface for its own environment. The company said it did so after signing a business agreement with TmaxTibero in March to build AI infrastructure based on domestic technology.

Customers can expand configurations by adding new nodes with a few clicks when they scale up systems. They can also respond quickly even when traffic surges, and flexibly add or return servers without initial costs to build physical equipment.

NHN Cloud plans to make TAC available in private and public zones to support high-availability business environments. It stressed that public agencies can now build cloud infrastructure that also takes disaster recovery (DR) systems into account.

Kim Dong-hoon (김동훈), CEO of NHN Cloud, said, "As a result of close cooperation with TmaxTibero, we can provide TAC based on NHN Cloud." He added, "We will bring together domestic technological capabilities to maximise customers’ service flexibility and provide a foundation for building DR systems." Park Kyung-hee (박경희), CEO of TmaxTibero, said, "We have stably implemented TAC’s high-availability technology, proving the competitiveness of domestic database technology." She added, "We will develop it into a data platform that can expand to AI, centred on the cloud DB service 'OwlDB.'"
