MySQL Cluster CGE (Carrier Grade Edition) 8.4 – 4-Node License

MySQL Cluster CGE (Carrier Grade Edition) 8.4 is a purpose-built in-memory distributed database platform engineered for telecommunications operators requiring subsecond transaction processing across geographically distributed nodes. The 4-node license configuration provides a scalable foundation for high-availability architectures, supporting real-time charging, subscriber management, and billing system workloads with synchronous data replication and automatic failover. This release, launched in Q2 2024, incorporates MySQL 8.4 LTS enhancements optimized for carrier-grade deployments, including improved cluster synchronization protocols, enhanced SQL compatibility, and refined resource management for dense transaction throughput.

The platform addresses the evolving demands of legacy BSS/OSS system migrations, enabling telecom operators to consolidate multiple disparate databases into a unified, high-performance distributed architecture. Built on NDB (Network Database) technology, CGE 8.4 guarantees ACID compliance across the cluster with microsecond-level commit latencies, eliminating the eventual consistency trade-offs of eventually consistent alternatives. The 4-node cluster configuration balances operational simplicity with multi-site resilience, supporting active-active data centers and reducing recovery time objectives (RTO) to near-zero through continuous synchronous replication.

Key architectural advantages include shared-nothing horizontal scaling, deterministic latency profiles suitable for real-time billing rate-table lookups, and native SQL interfaces eliminating application-layer abstraction complexity. The CGE designation certifies conformance with telecom industry reliability standards (99.999% uptime targets), carrier-grade cluster monitoring, and comprehensive operational instrumentation for mission-critical environments.

Ideal for

• Real-time prepaid and postpaid billing systems requiring microsecond subscriber credit deduction and balance queries across millions of concurrent subscribers
• Policy and charging rules function (PCRF) databases managing dynamic service-level policies with guaranteed consistency across multi-region telecom networks
• Unified subscriber management platforms consolidating customer identity, service entitlements, and roaming agreements with sub-second transaction response times
• Converged charging platforms for 5G core networks (charging function, rating engine) delivering deterministic performance for billions of daily transactions
• Revenue assurance and fraud detection systems requiring real-time transaction audit trails with synchronous data consistency across backup sites
• Network element configuration databases for carrier-grade equipment supporting transactional consistency during cluster node maintenance without service interruption
