# Enhanced Read Scalability with Non-Voting Servers
|
|
|
|
<EnterpriseAlert>
|
|
This feature requires{' '}
|
|
<a href="https://www.hashicorp.com/products/consul/">Consul Enterprise</a>{' '}
|
|
with the Global Visibility, Routing, and Scale module.
|
|
</EnterpriseAlert>
|
|
|
|
Consul Enterprise provides the ability to scale clustered Consul servers
|
|
to include voting and non-voting servers. Non-voting servers still receive data from the cluster replication,
|
|
however, they do not take part in quorum election operations. Expanding your Consul cluster in this way can scale
|
|
reads without impacting write latency.
|
|
|
|
For more details, review the [Consul server configuration](/docs/agent/options)
|
|
documentation and the [-non-voting-server](/docs/agent/options#_non_voting_server)
|
|
configuration flag.
