Blog Category: Database-as-a-Service

This is the first blog in our ‘High Noon’ comparison series in which we look at the alternative solutions for MySQL high availability, disaster recovery and geographic-distribution. We focus on highly available, geo-scale, multi-region MySQL for business critical applications as directly compared to Amazon Aurora. Tungsten Clustering makes it easy to deploy and manage highly available MySQL clusters with any version of MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona Server for MySQL on-premises, in the cloud, hybrid-cloud or multi-cloud.

Disaster Recovery for Continuous MySQL Operations does not have to be hard, but it does have to be WAN: Multi-Site, Hybrid-Cloud, Multi-Cloud. This blog discusses Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery, or “DR,” and an overlooked clustering feature that makes continuous database operations easy, affordable, and manageable.

This blog provides basic information about business-critical application to database connections; my team focuses on MySQL, MariaDB, and Percona Server for MySQL on Linux/Unix that’s infrastructure-agnostic (on-prem, VM, hybrid-cloud, cloud, multi-cloud, etc.).

People approach Continuent for many reasons, including: MySQL Continuous Operations: their business is using MySQL for business-critical applications that require zero downtime, including for maintenance updates MySQL Performance: their application performance and user experience are suffering due to a faltering MySQL backend

In this blog post, we talk about how to run applications across multiple clouds (i.e. AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure) using Tungsten Clustering. You want your business-critical applications to withstand node, datacenter, availability-zone or regional failures. For SaaS apps, you also want to bring data close to your application users for faster response times and a better user experience. With cross-cloud capability, Tungsten also helps avoid lock-in to any particular cloud provider.

This distributed topology, perfect for multi-region SaaS models, allows you to have all the benefits of high availability with centralized writes and local reads for all regions. Latency is limited only by the WAN link and the speed of the target node.

Learn why a MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server database backend that meets your business and technical needs would provide more flexibility, control, and price leverage than you could get with Amazon RDS.
