Best Practices
Testing the databases on the basis of best practice by combining a wide range of observation scenarios.
In setups for high-quality applications the application server and database server are separated from each other. This structure gives you freedom in terms of scalability, availability and security. Of course, noris not only takes over the operation of the application servers but also the operation of the databases for you.
noris network supports all common SQL and NonSQL database types in architectures individually tailored to your needs.
Examples of databases currently run by us:
- MySQL/MariaDB
- MariaDB auf Galera-Clustern
- MongoDB
- PostgreSQL
- MS SQL
- Oracle
The databases and database clusters are installed and configured by our IT experts. They monitor the entire system on 24/7 basis and operate it as part of an active update, patch, capacity, and incident management. Highly available clusters ensures that the architecture of the databases downtimes are minimized to zero.

The right database type for your requirements
We offer a wide range of database technologies to meet your requirements. Below you will find some examples:
MySQL/MariaDB - Cost-efficient for medium to large data volumes
This cost-effective open source solution offers optimized performance through query optimization and caching, ideal for web applications with medium to large amounts of data. Smooth integration with common web development frameworks and optimized performance through query optimization and caching ensure fast loading times for your website.
Your benefits:
- Seamless integration with common web development frameworks
- Optimized performance through query optimization and caching ensure fast loading times for your website
- Can be scaled horizontally with MySQL cluster solutions so that you can easily increase performance as your data volume grows
- Increased data security through replication databases
Improve loading times, delight your users and easily adapt to increasing traffic. For applications with lower requirements, a single-node system offers a cost-effective solution; for higher data security and availability requirements for business-critical systems, we also offer replication databases for you.
MariaDB on Galera clusters - highest availability
For maximum availability of your critical applications, a Galera cluster with MariaDB is the right choice for you.
Your benefits:
- Automatic and double data replication in real time
- Minimal downtime thanks to redundant storage on multiple servers in the event of hardware or software problems (high availability)
- Uninterrupted performance thanks to zero downtime
Protect yourself against data loss and ensure maximum uptime for your business-critical processes. Depending on your requirements, we offer you Galera-2 clusters with arbitrator, Galera-3 clusters for improved scalability and reliability or Galera-5 clusters for maximum performance and availability.
MongoDB - For the storage of large and unstructured data sets
This technology is the ideal choice for storing large, unstructured data sets, thanks to flexible data models with NoSQL functions and horizontal scalability. By adding further data fragments, it is easy to adapt to constantly changing data structures.
Your benefits:
- Efficient queries and high performance for real-time analysis of large amounts of data.
- Simple data management for big data applications
- Agile development thanks to rapid adaptation of the data model and powerful analyses
Choose between the MongoDB single node (D1) for basic requirements, the MongoDB 3 cluster (D3) for improved scalability and reliability or the MongoDB 5 cluster (D5) for maximum performance and availability.
PostgreSQL - For complex applications with high demands on data integrity and consistency
For complex applications with high data integrity and consistency requirements, we recommend PostgreSQL.
Your benefits:
- Powerful open source database
- Robust transaction functions for secure and reliable data management.
Depending on availability, we offer single node for basic needs, replication for high availability and APW (Active/Passive/Witness) for flexible, scalable architectures to meet your requirements.
Oracle - For individual performance and scaling requirements
Oracle offers various database editions that can be perfectly adapted to your individual performance and scaling requirements.
Your benefits:
- Unsurpassed performance for business-critical applications
Scale your database easily as your company grows - Comprehensive functions even for demanding applications in data management, data security and analysis
Your operations are safeguarded by various security measures: single-node systems for simple applications, dual-node systems for increased availability, Real Application Cluster (RAC) for maximum scalability and Data Guard (DG) with Data Guard Observer (DGO) for automated failover functions and maximum reliability. Benefit from this versatile functionality for complex data models and demanding applications – supported by our experienced team of Oracle experts.
MS SQL - The scalable database solution for individual requirements
With Microsoft SQL Server, you get a scalable database solution on a Windows server that can be perfectly adapted to your individual requirements thanks to various deployment options.
Your benefits:
- High performance for business-critical applications
- Uninterrupted operation with fail-safe configurations
- Comprehensive functions for data management, analysis and security – whether simple applications or complex database models
Our experienced database administrators support you with the optimum configuration. Whether you prefer the cost efficiency of a single-node system, require the high availability of active/passive clusters or are looking for the maximum performance and scalability of an active/active or always-on cluster, SQL Server offers the right solution for your requirements.
