Tungsten Clustering

MySQL Clustering for Business-Critical Apps

Continuent subscriptions include Tungsten software licensing and 24/7/365 support. After fulfilling server prerequisites, you may deploy Tungsten Clustering out-of-the-box.

Pricing is rooted in Continuent's vision to enable open source databases for mission-critical, geo-distributed applications. Annual subscription pricing per node goes down the larger the Tungsten footprint.

We enjoy long-term partnerships and high satisfaction with all our customers and are happy to provide references. Reach out to find out which Clustering topology makes sense for you - Standalone, Active/Passive, or Active/Active - and keep in mind that some customers use more than one for different use cases!

* All products include the benefits listed on the main Tungsten Clustering page:
Availability, Security, Performance, Scalability, Management, Monitoring, and 24/7/365 Support.

Standalone Clusters

A Standalone cluster consists of a writable Primary node and two or more read-only Replica nodes. Infinite scaling...
Zero downtime for planned and unplanned node-level outages
Host clusters anywhere - in your data center, using any cloud provider, and/or virtual host
Lowest complexity means lowest price
Add clusters to scale indefinitely

Ideal for SaaS who can scale by adding a cluster for each customer or group of customers

Active/Passive Clusters

Two or more 3-node clusters, consisting of one Active cluster and one or more managed Passive clusters. We call this the Composite Active/Passive (CAP) topology
Zero downtime for planned and unplanned node- and cluster-level outages
Host clusters anywhere - Multi-Site, Hybrid-Cloud or Multi-Cloud - with cross-cluster awareness
Deploy a highly available and performant MySQL service worldwide
Passive clusters can be used for additional load balancing / read-scaling, providing more value for your hardware-spend

Ideal for customers who need data redundancy across sites/regions, Disaster Recovery (DR) using managed failover, and/or application responsiveness

Active/Active Clusters

Two or more Active 3-node clusters. We offer three Active/Active geo-scalable topologies: Composite, Dynamic, and Multi-Site
Zero downtime for planned and unplanned node- and cluster-level outages
Host clusters anywhere - Multi-Site, Hybrid-Cloud or Multi-Cloud - with cross-cluster awareness (CAA and DAA only) and instant local write availability
Deploy a highly available and performant MySQL service worldwide
Greater application responsiveness with writable Primaries closer to end-users

Ideal for customers who need data redundancy across sites/regions, and greater availability and/or application responsiveness
