Continuent Tungsten clusters keep data available to applications 7x24 through hardware failures, maintenance, and software upgrades. It ensures business continuity and performance by keeping up-to-date data closer to the user, and increases application throughput and improves response time by load balancing SQL transactions across replicas.

High Availability (HA), Disaster Recovery (DR), and Continuous Operations

  • Continuent Tungsten handles data access from existing applications transparently for various cluster configurations, and maintains continuous connectivity during database maintenance or failover
  • Continuent Tungsten provides automatic failover that can replace a failed local master within seconds
  • Continuent Tungsten manages seamless integration of failed nodes when corrected and available
  • Continuent Tungsten protects against a site failure with easy-to-manage DR configuration and failover capabilities
  • Continuent Tungsten offers a true multi-master distributed solution supporting clusters across multiple data centers or cloud-computing regions with real-time updates and failure handling

Ease Of Use And Zero Down Time Operations

  • Setup in minutes in cloud or on-premises environments
  • Perform database maintenance and application upgrades without service interruptions
  • Reduce ongoing DBA operations. Run large deployments with fewer DBA resources, resulting in significant cost savings

Improved Performance

  • Continuent Tungsten improves database performance by transparently load balancing operations across read slaves, reducing master load and improving throughput
  • Continuent Tungsten can increase replication performance by five (5) times over native MySQL and increases transaction volumes using intelligent parallel methods

Supporting Cloud Operations

  • Deploy Continuent Tungsten clusters in the Amazon cloud with a single command
  • Augment your existing individual or clustered DBMS, in your local data center or a managed hosting facility, with a failover disaster recovery Continuent Tungsten cluster in the Amazon cloud
  • Create multi-site, multi-master Continuent Tungsten clusters reaching over multiple Amazon Regions and Availability Zones

No Migration Deployments

  • Continuent Tungsten works with off-the-shelf MySQL, including versions 5.0, 5.1, 5.5 and 5.6
  • You can deploy Tungsten clusters using MySQL Community and Enterprise versions, or MariaDB and Percona Server MySQL variants
  • Continuent Tungsten does not require any application changes for a default implementation. It may be beneficial to consider application changes to leverage all Continuent Tungsten clustering features
