Continuent Tungsten 2.0 is a major step forward that includes key feature improvements to help you manage very large datasets on MySQL. It also sets the stage for operation in cloud environments like Amazon.
We cover the following details to help you plan for using the new release:
Major improvements in Continuent Tungsten 2.0, including replication and connectivity upgrades
Major improvements in cluster management for cross-site and cross-cloud operations, especially in Amazon AWS
How to upgrade from Continuent Tungsten 2.0 from older Continuent Tungsten releases
How to create multi-master, multi-site clusters
How to use parallel replication to eliminate slave lag
How to set connection pooling to boost connectivity throughput
Oracle is the most powerful DBMS
in the world. However, Oracle's expensive and complex replication makes
it difficult to build highly available applications or move data in
real-time to data warehouses and popular databases like MySQL.
In this webinar you will learn how Continuent Tungsten solves problems with Oracle replication at a fraction of the cost of other solutions and with less management overhead too – picture Oracle GoldenGate without the price tag! We will demo constructing a highly available site using Oracle-to-Oracle replication. We will then show you how to replicate data in real time from Oracle to MySQL as well as load a data warehouse.
Continuent CEO Robert Hodges says that NoSQL solutions are oversold, but this is no reason for MySQL fans to become complacent. He kicked off Day 2 of the Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo with his keynote, "How MySQL can thrive in the world of massive data hype."
He said there are new challenges in data management, and relational databases must solve them or risk becoming irrelevant. This keynote describes our work on Continuent Tungsten to deliver better infrastructure and architecture for MySQL-based systems. We will use our experiences to propose a roadmap for the MySQL community that includes new tools as well as advances needed within the MySQL server.
We want to thank everyone for naming Continuent the Corporate Contributor of the Year 2013 for ongoing contribution to the MySQL community, at Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo 2013. The MySQL Community Awards are given annually to the people and companies that support the MySQL ecosystem.
The MySQL Community Award for Corporate Contributor of the Year recognizes a company or other organization or entity that has made valuable contributions to the MySQL ecosystem either in terms of open source code, knowledge, funding or other resources or sponsorship. The winners are selected by an independent community panel.
"By providing technologies that intertwine MySQL with other opensource technologies, they are applying pressure for openness and relevance. Robert Hodges is one of the peacemakers in our community," said Henrik Ingo, secretary of the MySQL Awards committee.

Do you need run multi-master MySQL database clusters across sites? In this webinar we build on the multi-master capabilities of Continuent Tungsten, covered in our advanced replication topologies course, to help you build and manage systems that spread data across dozens or even hundreds of sites. We cover topics such as large scale topologies, transaction filtering, security, and moving replication from simple data movement to application messaging.
Course Topics
Review of multi-master replication topologies
Setting up Continuent Tungsten clusters for local site HA
Linking Continuent Tungsten clusters across sites
Security for cross-site replication
Handling local as well as site-wide failures
Off-the-shelf filters to improve multi-master replication
Custom filter development to implement business rules for application messaging.
