VMware Continuent provides data replication between relational databases, and to data warehouses and analytics engines. In addition, VMware Continuent provides globally redundant disaster recovery, commercial-grade high availability and performance scaling.
To learn more, come visit us at the Percona Live Data Performance Conference, booth # 104!
Continuing from our April 2015 release of the VMware Continuent 4.0 products is a new 4.0.1 release that provides important fixes to both the replication and MySQL clustering.For full details, read the full release notes, available at the links below, but the highlights are as follows: VMware Continuent for Replication and Data Warehousing
Expanded support for EBS Snapshots to enable MySQL table
VMware Continuent enables demanding enterprise customers to process billions of business-critical transactions using economical MySQL relational databases. Learn how VMware Continuent adds high-availability, disaster recovery, and real-time data warehouse loading to off-the-shelf MySQL operating in vCloud Air.
We introduce vCloud Air basics, then do a deep dive into the VMware Continuent system
Analyzing transactional data is becoming increasingly common, especially as the data sizes and complexity increase and transactional stores are no longer to keep pace with the ever-increasing storage. Although there are many techniques available for loading data, getting effective data in real-time into your data warehouse store is a more difficult problem. VMware Continuent provides
It’s with great pleasure we announce the general availability of VMware Continuent 4.0 – a new suite of solutions for clustering and replication of MySQL to data warehouses.
VMware Continuent enables enterprises running business-critical database applications to achieve commercial-grade high availability (HA), globally redundant disaster recovery (DR) and performance scaling. The new suite

Global data access can greatly expand the reach of your business. Continuent's multi-site multi-master (MSMM) solutions enable applications to accept write traffic in multiple locations across on-premises and vCloud Air. This includes the following important real-world use cases:
Improve performance for globally distributed users registering hardware devices by permitting updates on the
I spent the last 4 years at SkySQL/MariaDB working on versions of
MySQL that could be “suitable for the cloud”. I strongly
believed that the world needed a version of MySQL that could work
in the cloud even better than its comparable version on bare
metal. Users and administrators wanted to benefit from the use of
cloud infrastructures and at the same time they wanted to achieve
the same performance and overall stability of their installations
on bare metal. Unfortunately, ACID-compliant databases in the
cloud suffer from the issues that any centrally controlled and
strictly persistent system can get when hosted on highly
distributed and natively stateless infrastructures.
In this post I am not going to talk about the improvements needed
for MySQL in the cloud - I will tackle this topic in
a future post. Today I'd like to focus on the business side
of RDS and Aurora.
In the last 4 years I had endless discussions over …
I have a BoF session next week at OSCON next week:
Migrating Data from MySQL and Oracle into Hadoop
The session is at 7pm Tuesday night – look for rooms D135 and/or D137/138.
Correction: We are now in E144 on Tuesday with the Hadoop get together first at 7pm, and the Data Migration to follow at 8pm.
I’m actually going to be joined by Gwen Shapira from Cloudera, who has a BoF session on Hadoop next door at the same time, along with Eric Herman from Booking.com. We’ll use the opportunity to talk all things Hadoop, but particularly the ingestion of data from MySQL and other databases into the Hadoop datastore.
As always, it’d be great to meet anybody interested in Hadoop at the BoF, please come along and introduce yourselves, and …
[Read more]A while back, I made some changes to the plugin interface for pt-online-schema-change which allows custom replication checks to be written. As I was adding this functionality, I also added the --plugin option to pt-table-checksum. This was released in Percona Toolkit 2.2.8.
With these additions, I spent some time writing a plugin that allows Percona Toolkit tools to use Tungsten Replicator to check for slave lag, you can find the code at https://github.com/grypyrg/percona-toolkit-plugin-tungsten-replicator
