SAN JOSE, CA – September 1, 2009 – Continuent, Inc., a leading provider of solutions for backup, continuous data availability, advanced database replication and database performance scalability, today announced Continuent Tungsten 1.1 version.
Continuent Tungsten harnesses the power of advanced open source and commercial technologies to deliver data availability and database performance scalability solutions that are based on the Tungsten open source components, a unique collection of solutions for database scale-out. Continuent Tungsten offers SMB customers an easy to manage, dynamic database replication solution with automatic cluster management, high availability and scalability for MySQL®, PostgreSQL and Oracle®.
With Continuent’s Tungsten solutions you can improve your existing database with:
• No data loss: maintain extra replicas of data in a case the master database fails, with automatic master failover by promoting one of the slaves as a new master
• Performance: use multiple database replicas to scale database performance
• Backup and Disaster Recovery: copy data on multiple databases, local or remote, for backup and disaster recovery
• Real-time Data Warehousing: copy data in real-time from a production database into a data warehouse for analysis and reporting.
Continuent Tungsten Enterprise 1.1 introduces the following new core features:
• One-step installation and configuration process
• Fully automated database failover using sophisticated production rules
• Integrated, easy to use backup solution
• Unique session-consistency load balancing model
• Comprehensive database cluster management for database administration
• Ability to control operating system services from the cluster management console program.
Continuent Tungsten fully supports MySQL and MariaDB (a MySQL fork) and PostgreSQL. Support for Oracle database will be available in Q4 ’09.
Continuent Tungsten runs on all Linux™ and Solaris® platforms. The Continuent Tungsten Cloud Edition also runs in the Amazon EC2™ cloud through integration with RightScale®.
"Continuent Tungsten allows us to work with our customers to improve our product, instead of managing the infrastructure that it runs on. With a database cluster that works together and manages itself, I know that it will handle our availability and scalability requirements," said Jeff Mace, team leader at AetherQuest Solutions.
