Webinars

Learn about reasons to move to the cloud and how to decide between hybrid & multi-cloud architectures to achieve ultimate MySQL availability.

Watch this on-demand webinar on database proxies (for MySQL) by Gilles Rayrat, VP of Engineering at Continuent. Gilles is one of the most knowledgeable experts in the MySQL community when it comes to database proxies and shares some of his knowledge in this initial webinar on that topic. From a simple database connectivity scenario all the way through to advanced database connectivity setups and proxy functionalities, this webinar provides an in-depth introduction to database proxies (for MySQL).

Tungsten Dashboard is our graphical user interface (GUI) for managing your Tungsten MySQL clusters interactively using a web browser, on your desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile. In our session, we'll provide a Tungsten Dashboard overview and discuss architecture, pre-requisites and security limitations.

Elasticsearch provides a quick and easy method to aggregate data, whether you want to use it for simplifying your search across multiple depots and databases, or as part of your analytics stack. Getting the data from your transactional engines into Elasticsearch is something that can be achieved within your application layer with all of the associated development and maintenance costs. Instead, offload the operation and simplify your deployment by using direct data replication to handle the insert, update and delete processes.

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. But ETL is no longer necessarily the right solution for the modern data-movement needs.

Native MySQL replication is simple and free, but can it handle recovery easily? What about complex topologies or advanced features like heterogeneous MySQL replication, read/write splitting, and seamless failovers? Watch this webinar where we compare MySQL native replication against Tungsten Replicator and Tungsten Clustering.

Tungsten Connector / Proxy is truly the secret sauce for the Tungsten Clustering solution. Watch this webinar to learn how the Tungsten Connector enables zero-downtime MySQL maintenance via the manual switch operation, and gain an understanding of the various configuration options for doing local reads in remote composite clusters.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) are gaining popularity, and for good reasons. The Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS) is getting a lot of attention, also for very good reasons. It is quite a compelling idea to have on-demand data services that do not require hiring DBA staff. The expectation is set that everything works like magic and will satisfy all of your enterprise database availability needs.

Watch the replay of this webinar hosted by Database Trends & Technologies (DBTA) and presented by Continuent CEO Eero Teerikorpi.
In this webinar, Eero walks us through the 10-year story of a marketing analytics SaaS, which grew with help from MySQL and Continuent from $10M to be a $6B behemoth: a real SaaS unicorn; and covers a number of related use cases also.

Business-Critical MySQL using open source is free, right? Managed MySQL cloud services don’t need DBAs, right? Think again!

MySQL can be the perfect answer for fast-growing, highly-performant and geographically-distributed database environments, but in order to function as a business-critical system with immediate response times, the ubiquitous database server needs a little help.

This webinar has three parts, and takes about 30 minutes:

• Overview of Amazon Aurora cross-region
• Common challenges when using Amazon Aurora
• How can multi-region MySQL deployments be improved?
• Q&A

Learn how NewVoiceMedia built a global, multi-region MySQL cloud back-end to support a high-volume cloud contact center.

In this webinar, you'll find out how to deploy multi-master MySQL with the following design criteria:

• Geographically distributed, low-latency data
• Fast response times for read & write traffic
• Full ACID compliance
• Atomic operations, guaranteed consistency, isolation, and durability
• Rapid-failover, automated high availability

Learn how Continuent Tungsten can replicate in real-time to multiple analytics powerhouses with no dips in performance. Targets include AWS RedShift, Kafka, Vertica and more. Don't miss the supplemental training video.

We will explore how to deploy a cluster slave in your existing environment, answering the following questions:

• What is a cluster slave?
• Why should I consider adding a cluster slave?
• What targets can I replicate to?

Learn how to build a global, multi-region MySQL cloud back-end capable of serving hundreds of millions of online multiplayer game accounts. In this webinar, you will find solutions to the typical business challenges of serving a geographically distributed audience - like Riot Games - with low-latency, fast response times, rapid-failover automated high availability, simple administration, system visibility, and stability.

Learn how Bluefin Payment Systems provides 24/7/365 operation and application availability for their payment gateway and decryption-as-a-service, essential to Point-Of-Sale solutions in retail, mobile, call centers and kiosks. We’ll discuss why Bluefin uses Tungsten Clustering, and how Bluefin runs two co-located data centers with multi-master replication between each cluster in each data center, with full fail-over within the cluster and between clusters, handling 350 million records each month.

Adobe Sign is a cloud-based, enterprise-class e-signature service that lets you replace paper and ink signature processes using a browser or mobile device. For Adobe Sign and companies using it, application uptime is absolutely crucial. With this webinar, learn how Adobe Sign secured their SaaS revenue using Tungsten Clustering on cloud-based services. We'll discuss how Adobe ensures their Adobe Sign application availability, 24/7.

As a SaaS provider, you have customers all over the globe. Your business relies on providing a quality service across multiple locations, with the best application and database availability. You also want to be able to expand your business and ensure it will always be available without worrying about how your database will achieve that. In this webinar series, we discuss techniques used by our SaaS customers handling large volumes of customer data and how we support their database requirements while ensuring they don’t have to worry about downtime or failures.

In this webinar, we discuss what makes Tungsten Clustering better than other alternatives (AWS RDS, Galera Cluster, MySQL InnoDB Cluster, and XtraDB Cluster), especially for geographically distributed multi-site deployments, both for disaster recovery and multi-site, multi-master needs.
