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.

One important way to protect your MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server data is to keep your Tungsten Clustering software up-to-date; but how can you achieve this with zero-downtime?

Learn about the two different methods for installing, updating and upgrading Tungsten Clustering software for MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server.

We are growing!

Consequently, Continuent needs additional talented staff.

We are currently looking for a person who would be a good fit for our "Database Clustering Technical Sales & Support Engineer" position, in the US Pacific timezone.

Continuent is pleased to announce that Tungsten Clustering 5.3.4 and Tungsten Replicator 5.3.4 are now available!

Release 5.3.4 was released shortly after 5.3.3 due to a specific bug in our reporting tool tpm diag. All of the major changes except this one fix are in the 5.3.3 release.

Our 5.3.3/4 release fixes a number of bugs and has been released to improve stability in certain parts of the products.

Highlights common to both products:

Your MySQL database cluster contains your most business-critical data; in this post, we discuss how to ensure proper performance under load.

This post covers some standard Nagios checks that would keep your MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server cluster nodes healthy.

This blog discusses some of the ways you can configure your MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server slaves using Tungsten Clustering.

A robust monitoring setup is essential for cluster health and viability - if your replicator goes offline and you do not know about it, then that slave becomes effectively useless because it has stale data. This means keeping a close watch on the health of the MySQL / MariaDB / Percona Server database nodes from many perspectives, from ensuring sufficient disk space to testing that replication traffic is flowing.

Tungsten Clustering offers a graphical administration tool called the Tungsten Dashboard™ to help with your management burden. The GUI makes the deployment much easier to visualize and administer.
