Data Center
The Data Center deployment option is designed for high availability, performance at scale, and instant scalability when hosting our applications in your own data center.
Now available for
High availability
Active-active clustering
Cluster multiple active servers to ensure users have uninterrupted access to critical applications in the event of unexpected hardware failure.
Distributed load
Use any form of load-balancing technology – hardware or software – to intelligently distribute load across your Data Center cluster.
Redundancy
Data Center deployments integrate with industry standard technologies for database clustering and shared file systems to minimize single points of failure.

Performance at scale
Concurrent user capacity
Each node in your Data Center cluster increases capacity for concurrent users without sacrificing performance.
Application resilience
Increase application throughput to avoid performance degradation in the event of load spikes.
Highest quality of service
Dedicate nodes for automated tasks to ensure the highest possible quality of service for critical teams within your organization.
Instant scalability
Hassle-free deployment
New nodes can join the cluster without downtime. Existing nodes automatically synchronize indexes and plugins with each new member.Rapid re-indexing
Quickly re-index your application without locking the system, ensuring your users have maximum uptime.
Predictable costs
Our Data Center deployment option is licensed by user count, not by the number of servers or CPUs, so you can scale your environment without additional license costs.

How do I evaluate JIRA Software, JIRA Service Desk, Confluence, or Bitbucket Data Center?
You can evaluate Data Center clustering by downloading our JIRA Software, Confluence, Bitbucket, or JIRA Service Desk server products and requesting a Data Center evaluation key to enable active clustering.
What does Data Center cost?
Please review our Data Center purchasing FAQ for detailed pricing information.
I'm already using a Server product, how much does it cost to migrate to Data Center?
Please review our Data Center purchasing FAQ for more information
I'm new to Atlassian and we don't currently own JIRA Software, JIRA Service Desk, Confluence, or Bitbucket. What are my next steps?
We recommend that you evaluate our JIRA Software, Confluence, Bitbucket, or JIRA Service Desk server products to ensure that they meet your needs (we're confident that they will). You can request a Data Center evaluation key to enable active clustering.
How can I learn more about what's required on our end?
For detailed information on Data Center, please review our Data Center documentation. For specific guidelines on node sizing in a clustered environment, we recommend you read our technical guidelines for JIRA Software, JIRA Service Desk, Confluence, and Bitbucket.
Where can I learn more about Data Center performance improvement?
Atlassian has conducted performance testing on Data Center in our labs. To learn more, visit the performance testing documentation for JIRA Software, JIRA Service Desk, Confluence, and Bitbucket.
Are there end-user feature differences between the single Server and Data Center deployment options?
No. Other than the active clustering capabilities, the Data Center deployment option has the same end-user features as our single server products.
How are Marketplace add-ons licensed for the Data Center deployment option?
There is no Data Center specific licensing for Marketplace add-ons at this time. You can use any add-on Server license as long as the user tier is greater than or equal to the user tier of your Data Center license.
What Marketplace add-ons are supported for the Data Center deployment option?
Marketplace add-ons that support Data Center are designated with a 'Data Center' lozenge on their Marketplace profile. You can also filter by Data Center hosting.
We built our own plugin. Is that supported with the Data Center deployment option?
Most plugins will work in a clustered environment but some may require changes. Please refer to this guide for more information.
Is Disaster Recovery available for Data Center?
Disaster Recovery is only available for Bitbucket, Confluence, JIRA Software, and JIRA Service Desk Data Center. Please refer to this guide for more information.
