The Database for 5G Revenue
MariaDB Enterprise Platform unifies transactions, real-time analytics and AI search, so carriers can launch 5G services faster and keep networks resilient.
Unlock 5G revenue without the complexity
You built the 5G network. Now you need to monetize it. Legacy data platforms are too rigid and costly for edge, IoT and enterprise services. MariaDB Enterprise Platform unifies transactional, analytical and AI workloads.
Scale for 5G without the latency tax
5G raises the load on subscriber authentication and BSS/OSS applications. MariaDB Raft Cluster uses majority consensus to commit transactions without letting distant nodes slow down the whole cluster.
Keep BSS/OSS running when a node fails
BSS/OSS applications target five-nines availability. If a Raft Cluster leader fails, followers automatically elect a new one without manual intervention. MaxScale monitors cluster health to support rolling upgrades and maintenance.
Real-time analytics, no ETL required
Analyze CDRs and network logs on live data. MariaDB Exa streams changes from MariaDB through MaxScale, so there are no ETL pipelines to build or maintain. Internal TPC-H tests showed queries up to 800x faster than InnoDB; results vary by workload.
Smarter search for logs, metrics and support tickets
Network logs, performance metrics and support tickets hold answers that keyword searches miss. Native vector search finds results by meaning. MariaDB AI Retrieval (public preview) adds managed retrieval for chatbots that answer subscriber questions.
Capabilities
Engineered for carrier-scale workloads
Low-latency multi-region writes
Raft Cluster uses majority consensus, so distant nodes don’t slow down the whole cluster.
Automatic leader failover
If the leader fails, followers automatically elect a new one. A 7-node cluster can lose up to 3 nodes and stay operational.
Write anywhere with automatic conflict handling
Conflict detection and resolution automatically handle multi-site write conflicts, keeping replication moving.
Replication that follows failover
MaxScale provides seamless automatic failover, without required custom scripts.
Why MariaDB
Why carriers choose MariaDB
One platform, one vendor
Transactions, analytics, in-memory caching and AI retrieval come from one vendor, with joint tooling and support instead of separate products.
Cloud-native on Kubernetes
The Enterprise Kubernetes Operator automates MariaDB clusters and MaxScale, with point-in-time restore for primary/replica topologies and optional FIPS 140-3 compliance.
Freedom from legacy licensing
Migrate from Oracle to cut licensing costs. An open source, cloud-native architecture lets you deploy anywhere and avoid vendor lock-in.
Industry regulations
FIPS 140-3 Mode for Kubernetes
The Enterprise Kubernetes Operator provides FIPS 140-3 compliance using NIST-validated cryptographic modules, a baseline for regulated networks.

Frequently asked questions
They suit different topologies. Raft Cluster (beta) fits writes that span regions or high-latency links. Galera remains the choice for strong multi-master consistency in lower-latency environments.
Yes. Raft Cluster (beta) targets geo-distributed writes, while conflict detection and resolution (beta) handles active-active replication with your SQL rules. MaxScale redirects replication after a remote failover.
MariaDB Exa streams changes from MariaDB through MaxScale into an analytics engine, eliminating the need to run ETL pipelines. Insert-heavy tables, such as CDRs, are the best fit today.
Yes. The Enterprise Kubernetes Operator provisions and manages Enterprise Server, Enterprise Cluster and MaxScale. It also adds point-in-time restore for primary/replica topologies.
Yes. Native vector search finds results by meaning and works with LangChain and LlamaIndex. AI Retrieval (public preview, AWS) adds managed document and text-to-SQL retrieval.
Yes. MariaDB provides Oracle migration guidance and an assessment tool. Its open source, cloud-native architecture lets you deploy anywhere and reduces licensing costs and vendor lock-in.
