Overview

Atlassian Data Center provides optimal performance and high availability for mission-critical, enterprise applications. Including availability across the most widely used team collaboration tools in the suite, Data Center delivers instant scalability for unphased system performance as your organization grows. With a tightly designed infrastructure of a load balancer and finely tuned nodes for failover, Data Center allows maximum uptime through active-active clustering. Atlassian Data Center is used by businesses who demand the highest level of performance from their software and Atlassian Cloud is not an option (for a myriad of reasons).

High Availability

Active-active clustering of nodes means that, should a node go down, the load balancer immediately detects the failure and re-directs operations to other nodes within seconds. Built in redundancy allows you to integrate with industry standard technologies for database clustering and shared file systems to minimize single points of failure. With minimal loss of system availability, mission-critical Atlassian applications provide performance on a continual basis, making Data Center the choice of teams who can't afford any downtime.

Instant Scalability

When your user count grows beyond your current Data Center infrastructure, simply add nodes to your clusters to scale up in an instance. Additional nodes support increased performance for larger teams and can be quickly added without downtime to your system. Existing nodes auto sync indexes and plugins with each new node added. Scaling up also provides predictable costs, as Data Center is licensed per user count (not number of servers or CPUs) without increase in licensing.
