New On-Demand Webinar: Build Your Own Database-as-a-Service

Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) is the latest trend in DBMS management. Amazon has RDS, Salesforce has database.com. Now you can build your own DBaaS using Tungsten! Continuent’s Tungsten Enterprise helps users build ‘black box’ database services consisting of multiple MySQL servers with automatic provisioning of database servers, transparent failover, backups, and capacity scaling. The result is vastly simplified operations and reduced application complexity.

In this webinar we share our experiences building DBaaS with Tungsten, including the following topics:

• What is Tungsten and how does it work?
• Configure Tungsten to create your own DBaaS
• Scale capacity with automatic database provisioning
• Recover from failures through storage subsystem integration
• Zero downtime maintenance and upgrades
• Increase performance with SQL routing and load balancing
• Replicate across multiple sites.

Tungsten data services are operating in production at numerous customer sites. Click here to learn how Tungsten can help you build Database-as-a-Service today!

Continuent Tungsten Replicator 2.0 Now Completely Open Source

MySQL Conference & Expo, SANTA CLARA, CA – April 12, 2011 – Continuent, Inc., a leading provider of replication and clustering solutions for open source databases, today announced the availability of the Tungsten Replicator 2.0. Tungsten Replicator is a high performance, open source, data replication engine for MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Tungsten Replicator 2.0 offers a set of features that surpass any open source replicator available today: parallel, multi-master and heterogeneous replication.

Best of all, these features are available to you as an open source release that is ready to solve your most extreme replication problems.

Tungsten Replicator benefits include:

• “No slave left behind!” Increase replication performance by parallelizing the data flow between master and slave.
• “Geographic distribution of data and apps.” Create multi-site deployments using multi-master replication.
• “Unleash your data.” Replicate from MySQL to Oracle enterprise apps. Feed your data warehouse and analytics solutions, such as Greenplum, with data from MySQL. Migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL.

Tungsten Replicator runs equally well in cloud as well as locally hosted environments. Tungsten Replicator users range from web start-ups to large enterprises to the largest web properties on the planet processing hundreds of millions of transactions a day.

Tungsten Replicator is the foundation for Continuent Tungsten Enterprise, a complete replication and data management solution for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
