Disaster Recovery

We’ve created a new space on our website for our flagship product Tungsten Clustering. This blog invites you to take a tour of the new product section and to get in touch with us for your MySQL MySQL High Availability, Disaster Recovery and/or Geo-Clustering needs.

How to build a multi-region, multi-master MySQL cloud database back- end capable of serving a global, high-volume cloud contact center: this global SaaS provider is a Cloud Contact Center solution provider, who needs to deliver up-to-date data to clients as quickly as possible.

This MySQL high availability and disaster recovery use case is based on a customer of ours who is a government-regulated lottery service and who needs 24x7x365 operations as well as be able to perform maintenance without any disruption to their public facing gaming website.

This is the second post in a series of MySQL use case blogs. It discusses a SaaS provider dealing with sensitive medical data and their need to be able to quickly deploy clusters in AWS and recover from multi-zone AWS outages.

We’re delighted to be able to share that Tungsten Clustering - our flagship product - is named in the DBTA 2020 List of Trend Setting Products!

This is the first in a series of use case blogs. It discusses the concept of ‘Geo-scale MySQL’ - or how to build a global, multi-region MySQL cloud back-end capable of serving hundreds of user accounts.

Real time database replication is a must for clustering and other key business purposes, like reporting. There are a number of replication technologies available for MySQL, and some are even bundled into various solutions. When choosing a replication methodology, it is paramount to understand just how the data moves from source to target. In this blog post, we will examine how asynchronous, synchronous, and "semi-synchronous" replication behave when used for clustering. Also, we will explore how replication affects database performance and data availability.

Read our white paper on Tungsten Clustering for MySQL, MariaDB and Percona Server. Tungsten Clustering allows enterprises running business-critical database applications to cost-effectively achieve continuous operations on a global scale.

Why does the DIY approach fail to deliver vs. the Tungsten Clustering solution for geo-distributed MySQL multimaster deployments? Before we dive into the 10 reasons, note why commercially-supported enterprise software is less risky and in fact less costly.

Database Administration is a tough, often ungrateful job. Especially if you run a 24/7 business-critical MySQL or MariaDB deployment.

This blog explains data replication and clustering in a way that anybody can understand.

Enterprises require high availability for their business-critical applications. Even the smallest unplanned outage or even a planned maintenance operation can cause lost sales, productivity, and erode customer confidence. Additionally, updating and retrieving data needs to be robust to keep up with user demand.
