Breaking the Scale-Out Barriers

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Big MySQL® sites have long appreciated the power of built-in database replication. However, replicated databases are complex to manage, don't provide seamless availability, and require application changes to provide scaling benefits. We show how Continuent's new Tungsten architecture rides key database technology trends to create data services with continuous high availability and transparent performance scaling using commodity hardware and off-the-shelf MySQL databases.

1. Overview and Introductions
   • Defining seamless availability
   • Defining transparent performance scaling
2. A Hard Look at Database Replication
   • The good: Easy initial setup, potential read scaling, WAN support, flexible feature set
   • The bad: Master failover, lost transactions, complex management, and application changes to achieve scaling
3. New Technology Trends in Databases
   • Pluggable replication
   • Eventual consistency
   • Database virtualization
   • Partitioning
4. Continuent™ ScaleOut Stack: Database Replication Reloaded
   • Defining a technology stack for database scale-out
   • Tour of the scale-out stack technologies
   • Implementing seamless high availability with Tungsten
   • Achieving transparent performance improvements with Tungsten
