Robert Hodges, chief technology officer for Continuent, tells 5 Minute Briefing that "with the Tungsten 1.2 release, we have rounded out the management capabilities and provided full cluster support for MySQL. Even just two linked databases represent a cluster and need to managed for activities such as switching master and slave relationships and load balancing from one replicated database to another. With Tungsten 1.2, all of the databases in the cluster can be viewed and managed from one machine."
