Watch this 30min training video on how to get started with Tungsten Replicator AMI and how to avail of it on Amazon Marketplace; including a step-by-step demonstration.

Clickhouse is a relatively new analytics and datawarehouse engine that provides for very quick insertion and analysing of data. Like most analytics platforms it's built on a column-oriented storage basis and unlike many alternatives is completely open source. It's also exceedingly fast, even on relatively modest platforms.

Continuent is very pleased and excited to announce that the new Tungsten Clustering 6.0 and Tungsten Replicator 6.0 are now available for download by our customers.

The 6.0 release is the culmination of over a year's work within our clustering product in order to create a new type of Active/Active solution. This is not a replacement for what we called the multi-site active/active (MSAA) clustering functionality in earlier releases.

We had a great webinar on Wednesday looking at how we can use Tungsten Replicator for moving data into Elasticsearch, whether that's for analytics, searching, or reporting.

We had one question on that session, which I wanted to answer in full:

Can UPDATE and DELETE be converted to INSERT?

We had a really great session yesterday during the webinar on Amazon Redshift replication, but sadly ran out of time for questions. So as promised, let's try and answer the questions asked now!

Are you going to support SAP IQ as a target ?

This is the first request we've ever received, and so therefore there are no firm plans for supporting it. As a target, SAP IQ supports a JDBC interface, and therefore is not hugely complicated to achieve compared to more complex, customer appliers.

Can you replicate from SAP ASE ?

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? Tungsten Replicator provides real-time movement of data from Oracle and MySQL into Amazon Redshift, including flexible data handling, translation and long-term change data capture.

There are many ways of moving data from source databases into your target system. Historically, the Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) has been the method for moving data effectively between databases and analytics platforms.

What MySQL replication is, what it's not, and when is Tungsten a better choice? Find out Wednesday 10/11, 9:00-9:30 am PDT, at http://bit.ly/2z4wKPA

We will cover topics such as:

What native replication is (and isn’t),
Fan-in/fan-out topologies,
...

Hello again everybody. Well, I promised it a couple of weeks ago, and I’m sorry it has been so long (I’ve been working on other fun stuff in addition to this). But I’m pleased to say that we now have a fully working applier that takes data from an incoming THL stream, whether that is Oracle … Continue reading "Kafka Replication from MySQL and Oracle"

So here at Continuent we are working on multiple new targets for applying data using Tungsten Replicator. There are so many potential targets out there where people want to replicate data directly into a specific system, sometimes just for a specific data set, table, database or requirements. Yesterday afternoon, I started working on ElasticSearch – … Continue reading "Replicating into ElasticSearch"
