# Enhanced Read Scalability with Read Replicas
|
|
|
|
<EnterpriseAlert>
|
|
|
|
This feature requires
|
|
HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) or self-managed Consul Enterprise.
|
|
Refer to the [enterprise feature matrix](/consul/docs/enterprise#consul-enterprise-feature-availability) for additional information.

|
|
Consul Enterprise provides the ability to scale clustered Consul servers
|
|
to include voting servers and read replicas. Read replicas 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](/consul/docs/agent/config)
|
|
documentation and the [-read-replica](/consul/docs/agent/config/cli-flags#_read_replica)
|
|
configuration flag.
