Tungsten Enterprise

Tungsten Enterprise is a complete replication and data management solution for MySQL and PostgreSQL. Tungsten Enterprise uses replication and distributed management to create virtualized databases using redundant data copies. Tungsten Enterprise helps customers build fault-tolerant clusters that:

Continuous Operations:

  • Automatic master failover: recover immediately from hardware and software failures
  • Zero-downtime upgrades: upgrade database servers (schema, software, hardware) seamlessly without taking applications offline
  • Integrated backups: ensure data availability, even in the event of catastrophic failure
  • Multi-site and disaster recovery: protect against site disasters

Improve performance:

  • Increase performance: simple read/write splitting easily doubles the performance
  • Load-balancing: spread SQL query load automatically across multiple data copies
  • No slave-lag: eliminate slave latency using parallel replication

Lower TCO:

  • Reduce labor required to manage data properly, fewer or no DBA resources needed for otherwise complex operations
  • Manage customer data at ease in multi-tenant applications

Best of all, Tungsten does not require any changes in your environment:

  • Absolutely no changes needed in applications
  • Use any stock-and-barrel MySQL database, MySQL Enterprise from Oracle, MySQL Community edition, Percona XtraDB, Monty Program's MariaDB
  • Use any MySQL version (MySQL 5.1.x and 5.5.x preferred) and PostgreSQL version (PostgreSQL 9.1.x preferred)
  • No need for special hardware or appliances
  • Note: many competing MySQL HA/Scalability/Clustering/Disaster Recovery solutions are based on idea replacing MySQL's InnoDB database engine or require to use their own modified version of InnoDB. You do not want that. By doing that, you are going to miss out all the new development done by Oracle and other open source database providers, such as Percona and Monty Program.

Tungsten Enterprise includes distributed management with simple operator commands to view status and perform maintenance, business rules to execute failover procedures, transparent SQL routing and load balancing, and integration with high-end storage systems like NetApp. Tungsten Enterprise runs equally well in clouds as well as on local hardware.

Tungsten Enterprise customers include large enterprises, SaaS businesses, social networking sites and ISPs. Applications that depend on Tungsten Enterprise range from in-house IT systems to multi-tenant applications that process hundreds of millions of transactions a day for thousands of customers.

MySQL multi-site operations with Tungsten Enterprise geo-clustering

Spreading data across multiple sites solves some important problems, including ensuring business continuity, disaster recovery (DR) as well as availability of applications spread across the globe.

Learn how Tungsten Enterprise can start with existing, off-the-shelf MySQL databases and build them out to create easy-to-manage clusters spanning multiple hosts and sites.

Very high-volume SaaS application running on Tungsten Enterprise

In this video, Nick Bonfiglio, VP of Operations at Marketo and Continuent team describe how Marketo uses Tungsten Enterprise and an innovative storage architecture based on NetApp.

Since implementing Tungsten Enterprise, Marketo's business has grown to handle over 500 million database transactions per day and some 135 terabytes of data.

 

Tungsten Enterprise multi-master, multi-site solution

Continuent Tungsten enables multi-master with an innovative new architecture called System of Record that avoids data conflicts, ensures sites are ready for quick failover, and uses hardware resources efficiently.

In this video, learn how Tungsten Enterprise enables System of Record with real-time data synchronization, cross-site failover, and automatic routing of SQL transactions between sites.
