Countless businesses depend on MySQL and PostgreSQL to manage data. But what happens when databases crash or need maintenance? How can you ensure that your database operates at peak performance with minimum work by administrators and maximum utilization of available hardware?
Join us to learn how VNC and Continuent's Tungsten Enterprise software solve database availability and performance problems. In this webinar we will show you how Tungsten works and demonstrate solutions to availability and performance problems. We will cover solutions ranging from setting up basic database high-availability clusters to managing data spread across multiple sites within Germany as well as the world. Best of all, with Tungsten Enterprise you do not have to replace your existing databases. Tungsten is a drop-in addition that works with all MySQL (5.0, 5.1, 5.5 and upcoming 5.6, MariaDB 5.2 and Percona XtraDB) and PostgreSQL (8.4, 9.0, 9.1 and upcoming 9.2) versions.
VNC and Continuent are excited to be working together on data availability and increased database performance for data-driven applications while retaining the cost advantages of open source software. We look forward to showing you the Tungsten solutions.
Note: This webcast is delivered in German.

High availability is about more than making sure that apps can get to your data even if there is a failure. How about when you are upgrading your database schema? What if you need to add memory to a database server or reconfigure/restart MySQL? If your apps want to read data from a MySQL slave, how can you be sure they are not reading stale data without re-coding your apps?
What if your main data center takes a hit? And what if you want better MySQL stability, performance, and simplified administration, but you cannot or do not want to re-write your apps or convert your current data to run with a proprietary MySQL re-write or a promised new version of MySQL?
During this webinar, we 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).
