In this vlog, Continuent’s CEO and Founder, Eero Teerikorpi, steps out of his sabbatical to share heartfelt support for the citizens of Ukraine. 

This is an important subject for the Continuent team, as we have families with ties to both Ukraine and Russia, and Continuent is a global company. The rights, freedom, and independence of all people and countries, no matter how large or small, are important to us.

Hop on-board and sail the San Francisco Bay with the Founder and CEO of Continuent, Eero Teerikorpi, as he zeros in on one of the reasons customers love Continuent’s 24/7/365 customer service: speed. Of course, speed isn’t everything - but when combined with highly experienced and available DBAs, SysAdmins and Architects - it’s hard to find better peace of mind about your business-critical databases.

Remember what 2001 looked like from a technology point of view? In this vlog, the Founder and CEO of Continuent, industry veteran Eero Teerikorpi, tells the story of the beginning of Continuent, and the bold vision that got us here. Since 2001, Continuent has pioneered the need for cloud-savvy business-critical MySQL databases that are platform-agnostic, highly-available, and globally-scaling.

We are pleased to announce that Tungsten Clustering and Tungsten Replicator GA versions 6.1.16 are now available. Tungsten allows enterprises running business-critical MySQL database applications to cost-effectively achieve continuous global operations with commercial-grade high availability (HA), geographically redundant disaster recovery (DR) and geographically distributed active/active.

Tungsten Replicator is the most advanced heterogeneous real-time data replication solution for MySQL, MariaDB & Percona Server, including Amazon RDS MySQL and Amazon Aurora. It provides high-performance and improved replication functionality over the native MySQL replication solution and into a range of target databases.

Following the announcement late last year that we’d made our flagship product Tungsten Cluster available on the Amazon Marketplace in an easy-to-access and deploy AMI format, we published some useful resources in the past few months to help users getting started with Tungsten Clustering in the AWS cloud.

This latest post on MySQL replication follows the ones we did on Amazon Redshift & Amazon Aurora; naturally, we had to cover Amazon RDS as well and so we look here at how to easily and securely replicate from MySQL to Amazon RDS (and vice versa).

This blog post looks at the ins and outs of Amazon Aurora replication and how to best go about that; including all the details you need to replicate to and from Aurora with the Tungsten Replicator AMI.

This post shares the links to three short demo videos, each an easy-to-follow walk-through of how to launch 3-node single, active/passive or active/active Tungsten MySQL clusters using AWS CloudFormation.

Amazon Redshift has been providing scalable, quick-to-access analytics platforms for many years, but the question remains: how do you get the data from your existing datastore into Redshift for processing? This blog looks at that question by providing some background information on Redshift replication as well as details on how to easily replicate from MySQL to Redshift.

It’s Hadoop’s 15th birthday and we’re looking at how to easily replicate from MySQL to Hadoop and why in this blog on real-time big data analytics.
