New Continuent Tungsten 1.5 now available

The best MySQL high availability solution on the market gets even better! We are happy to announce immediate availability of Continuent Tungsten 1.5.

New Continuent Tungsten 1.5 offers significant improvements that help you to deploy cost effective HA clusters fast include:

• Easy Installation - One-step command to deploy an entire Tungsten cluster in minutes, either in your data center or in the cloud, with automatic checking of all prerequisites
• Disaster Recovery Sites - Link Tungsten clusters on your primary and backup sites, then switch between them with a single command
• Improved Handling of Failures - Avoid unnecessary master failover and recover easily from network problems
• Fast Recovery - Repair a wide range of master or slave failures with a single command.

Continuent Tungsten does not require any application changes, and runs on all flavors (MySQL Community, MySQL Enterprise, MariaDB and Percona Server) and all versions of MySQL (5.0, 5.1, 5.5). When you review HA options, please note that this 'no-changes' promise is really not true with many other MySQL HA solutions currently available.   

If you are currently using MySQL replication (no automatic master failover), MMM , MHA or DRBD (50% performance penalty), you really should consider Continuent Tungsten instead. Ask us about our special promotion for replacing your current HA solution with Continuent Tungsten!
