Databases are the center of today’s web, enterprise and embedded applications, storing and protecting an organization’s most valuable assets and supporting business-critical applications. Just minutes of downtime can result in significant lost revenue and dissatisfied customers. Ensuring database highly availability is therefore a top priority for any organization.
The new MySQL Guide to High Availability solutions is designed to navigate users through the HA maze, discussing:
- The causes, effects and impacts of downtime;
- Methodologies to select the right HA solution;
- Different
approaches to delivering highly available MySQL services;
- Operational best practices to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
As discussed in the new Guide, selecting the high availability solution that is appropriate for your application depends upon 3 core principles:
- The level of availability required to meet business objectives,
within budgetary constraints;
- The profile of application being deployed (i.e. concurrent users,
requests per second, etc.);
- Operational standards within each data center.
Recognizing that
each application or service has different operational and availability
requirements, the guide discusses the range of certified and supported High
Availability (HA) solutions – from internal departmental applications all the
way through to geographically redundant, multi-data center systems delivering
99.999% availability (i.e. less than 5 ½ minutes of downtime per year)
supporting transactional web services, communications networks, cloud and hosting environments, etc.
By combining the
right technology with the right skills and processes, users can achieve
business continuity, while developers and DBAs can sleep tight at night! Download the guide to learn
