Use Case: MySQL Cloud Migration
Challenge
The challenge this customer faced was to find a continuously available solution for their SaaS customers, and do the migration from on-premises to the cloud without downtime.
Solution
One of the stand-out differences that Continuent Tungsten has to offer compared to other MySQL high-availability alternatives is the ability to simultaneously run and manage database clusters on-premises and in the various clouds, providing a unified, single pane view management layer for all MySQL database nodes and clusters.
Benefits - MySQL Cloud Migration
This customer can deploy hybrid-cloud MySQL clusters for continuous operations and migration purposes, which prevents the lock-in to any specific cloud vendor. More importantly, it gives significant negotiation power on the compute instances prices with a realistic threat to take the workloads elsewhere. This SaaS customer started with on-premises deployments at Rackspace and now runs simultaneously both at AWS and Azure.
