German webinar Feb 7th at 15:00 CET: Hochverfügbarkeit und Performance von MySQL und PostgreSQL

Zahlreiche Unternehmen verlassen sich auf MySQL und PostgreSQL für die Datenverwaltung. Aber was passiert, wenn die Datenbank abstürzt oder eine Wartung benötigt? Wie können Sie sicherstellen, dass Ihre Datenbank Höchstleistung bringt mit minimalem Arbeitsaufwand für den Administrator und maximaler Auslastung der vorhandenen Hardware?

Erfahren Sie, wie VNC und Continuent Tungsten Enterprise software die Verfügbarkeit und Performance von Datenbanken sicherstellen. In diesem Webinar zeigen wir Ihnen, wie Tungsten Enterprise funktioniert und Ihre Lösung für Verfügbarkeits- und Leistungsprobleme darstellt. Wir werden uns mit Lösungsszenarien befassen, wie z.B. dem Anlegen einer Basis-Datenbank, High-Availability Clusters bis zur Datenverwaltung über mehrere Standorte in Deutschland sowie in der ganzen Welt. Das Beste daran ist: mit Tungsten Enterprise müssen Sie Ihre vorhandenen Datenbanken nicht ersetzen. Tungsten Enterprise ist eine Zusatzkomponente, die mit allen MySQL (5.0, 5.1, 5.5 und demnächst mit 5.6, MariaDB 5.2 und Percona XtraDB) und PostgreSQL (8.4, 9.0, 9.1 und demnächst mit 9.2) Versionen funktioniert.

VNC und Continuent arbeiten eng zusammen im Bereich Datenverfügbarkeit und Hochleistungsfähigkeit von Datenbanken für datengesteuerte Anwendungen, wobei die Kostenvorteile von Open-Source Software erhalten bleiben.

Wir freuen uns, Ihnen die Tungsten Enterprise Lösungen vorstellen zu können.

MySQL High Availability Realized @ Database Month, The NYC MySQL Meetup

MySQL High Availability Realized

Join us on Tuesday, January 24th at 6:30 pm ET
NYC Seminar & Conference Center
71 West 23rd St. (corner of 6th Ave.), Suite 515/Lower Level, New York, NY

Edward Archibald, CTO at Continuent, will go through a detailed case study to show you how you can start with the MySQL version/build (MySQL Community 5.x, MySQL Enterprise 5.x, MariaDB, Percona, etc.), along with the data and apps that you already have, and iteratively build up a highly-available, scalable, multi-site database infrastructure where you can perform complex data management tasks with single commands.

You will see live demos of the following:

• Transition from MySQL 'native' replication to a Tungsten Enterprise cluster with zero app downtime
• Reading consistent data from slaves without app changes (SmartScale)
• Schema upgrade on the master database server with no app downtime (switch operation)
• Automated fail over when a MySQL database server crashes
• Recovery of a failed master to a fully operational slave with a single command
• Switch of database operations to a remote site with no app down time (Geo-clustering, cross-site 'switch' operation)

Fast, Flexible, and Fun--The Tungsten Replicator Magical Mystery Tour @ The LA MySQL Meetup Group

Fast, Flexible, and Fun--The Tungsten Replicator Magical Mystery Tour

Join us Wednesday, January 11, 2012, 6:30 PM

at Coloft, 920 Santa Monica Blvd, Santa Monica, CA

Data replication is old hat for MySQL users. Right? Wrong! Tungsten Replicator is breathing new life into MySQL replication by providing enterprise-class capabilities under a GPL V2 license. This talk by Robert Hodges, CEO at Continuent, is a highly technical intro to Tungsten starting from the single command installation and ending with advanced features like parallel and multi-master replication, heterogeneous data movement, and data warehouse loading. You will even learn how to grab the code and extend the pluggable Tungsten architecture to solve new problems we have not thought of. In fact, by the end of the talk you'll have the background necessary to become a replication wizard yourself.

MySQL multi-site operations with Tungsten Enterprise geo-clustering -- Webinar 12/1

Spreading data across multiple sites solves some important problems, including ensuring business continuity, disaster recovery (DR) as well as availability of applications spread across the globe. Join us to learn how Tungsten Enterprise can start with existing, off-the-shelf MySQL databases and build them out to create easy-to-manage clusters spanning multiple hosts and sites. We'll cover the following topics:

• How a Tungsten cluster makes off-the-shelf MySQL fault-tolerant and easy to manage
• How to extend a Tungsten cluster to one or more backup sites
• How Tungsten lets you implement DBMS disaster recovery with a single, simple command
• How to spread application load over primary and backup sites.

Continuent clusters process hundreds of millions of transactions a day in demanding production environments. You can take advantage of proven Tungsten technology to manage your data safely and effectively both within and across sites. We look forward to telling you more at the webinar!

Continuent Announces Supported MySQL-To-Oracle Replication With Tungsten Replicator

Continuent today announced packaged open source support for real-time replication from MySQL to Oracle using Tungsten Replicator, Continuent’s award-winning replication software. Customers can now sign up for a cost-effective engagement from a Continuent replication expert to help install, configure and test replication from MySQL to Oracle using Tungsten Replicator. Customers can also add on-going support for production deployments. Continuent support packages give customers the economics of open source backed up by the expertise of Continuent’s outstanding engineering team to get robust, 24x7 solutions rolled out efficiently.

Tungsten Replicator offers technically savvy users advanced features like parallel replication, multi-master operation, transaction filtering and heterogeneous data movement between MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle. The real-time integration provided by Tungsten Replicator moves data from MySQL to Oracle without touching existing applications or data. Since it reads changes in real-time from binlogs, Tungsten Replicator is far more efficient than traditional batch-oriented ETL approaches, which commonly require application changes. Tungsten Replicator with packaged support is also extremely cost effective compared to expensive solutions offered by traditional enterprise products, such as GoldenGate by Oracle or DataMirror by IBM.

Heterogeneous replication can be complex to set up and manage. Continuent packaged support offers the following benefits that make MySQL-to-Oracle a practical solution for all users:

• Expert technical consulting to set up replication from MySQL to Oracle
• Scripts, documentation and templates for management and monitoring
• Outstanding 24/7 technical support for questions and problems
• Quick build turnaround to fix bugs.

Continuent’s heterogeneous replication solutions are already in production with a number of customers, including Zappos and Sony Music Entertainment.

“Our e-commerce system runs on Amazon cloud via RightScale using MySQL 5.1 databases. We needed a fast and reliable solution that can replicate the data from the cloud into our Oracle 10g data mart at our datacenter for deeper analysis and reporting," said Thomas Koshy, Director of Operations, Direct2Consumer, Sony Music Entertainment. “After our internal attempts failed, we approached Continuent with this unique request. They were very quick to understand our needs and come up with a solution in a very short timeframe. We couldn't have moved forward on this project without the help of such a wonderful product.“

Continuent is hosting a live webcast demonstrating MySQL-to-Oracle replication in operation on Thursday, November 11th at 10 am PT. Tungsten Replicator MySQL-to-Oracle support packages are available today with prices starting at $10,000 for initial setup and $5,000 per deployed Oracle server per year.
