Webinar: navigating the changing landscape of open source databases
Ноябрь 1st, 2010When we published our 2008 report on the impact of open source on the database market the overall conclusion was that adoption had been widespread but shallow.
Since then we’ve seen increased adoption of open source software, as well as the acquisition of MySQL by Oracle. Perhaps the most significant shift in the market since early 2008 has been the explosion in the number of open source database and data management projects, including the various NoSQL data stores, and of course Hadoop and its associated projects.
On Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 11:00 am EST I’ll be joining Robin Schumacher, Director of Product Strategy from EnterpriseDB to present a webinar on navigating the changing landscape of open source databases.
Among the topics to be discussed are:
· the needs of organizations with hybrid mixed-workload environments
· how to choose the right tool for the job
· the involvement of user corporations (for better or for worse) in open source projects today.

Free webinar on MySQL performance this Thursday
Август 23rd, 2010ODTUG invited me to give a webinar and I said yes, so this Thursday you’re invited to join me as I talk about MySQL performance. We’ve come a very long way towards a MySQL that can perform well on modern hardware, and there really isn’t broad recognition of this. A lot of the best work has gone into the InnoDB “plugin” storage engine, which was announced after my co-authors and I sent High Performance MySQL to the press. I will explain what you should be doing differently now than you did two years ago, and suggest a performance-in-a-nutshell configuration baseline for MySQL that’s quite different from what I’d have said in 2008. You can register for free through GoToWebinar. See you there.

Upcoming webinar: MySQL Cluster deployment best practices
Август 2nd, 2010On Wednesday 25 August, Johan Anderson and Mat keep will be presenting a free webinar on the best practices for deploying MySQL Cluster. If you’d like to attend then just register here.
Johan has years of MySQL Cluster professional services experience – and so if you’re interested in deploying a product ready MySQL Cluster database then this is a must-view session. Even if you can’t make it live, register anyway and you’ll be sent a link to the recording and charts afterwards.
Content
An invaluable session for those who are about to, or who already have, deployed MySQL Cluster. Delivered by the lead MySQL Cluster professional services consultant in Oracle, this session will present best practices on deploying MySQL Cluster in order to accelerate time to service with the highest levels of availability and performance to support your most critical web and telecoms applications.
The session will cover:
- identifying suitable applications for MySQL Cluster
- comparing differences in functionality and configuration with InnoDB
- using triggers and stored procedures to implement foreign key functionality
- hardware, networking and file system selection
- dimensioning and capacity planning
- configuration best practices
- disk data deployment
- administration and monitoring
- services available to get started

Free webinar – Scaling web apps with MySQL (an alternative to the MEMORY storage engine)
Июль 9th, 2010Mat Keep and I will be presenting this free webinar on Wednesday 14 July. 
The MEMORY storage engine has been widely adopted by MySQL users to provide near-instant responsiveness with use cases such as caching and web session management. As these services evolve to support more users, so the scalability and availability demands can start to exceed the capabilities of the MEMORY storage engine.
The MySQL Cluster database, which itself can be implemented as a MySQL storage engine, is a viable alternative to address these evolving web service demands. MySQL Cluster can be configured and run in the same way as the MEMORY storage engine (ie on a single host with no replication and no persistence). As web services evolve, any of these attributes can then be added in any combination to deliver higher levels of scalability, availability and database functionality, especially for those workloads which predominately access data by the primary key.

Webinar today – Scaling Web Services with MySQL Cluster, Part 1: An Alternative to MySQL Server & memcached
Июнь 9th, 2010MySQL and memcached has become, and will remain, the foundation for many dynamic web services with proven deployments in some of the largest and most prolific names on the web. There are classes of web services however that are update-intensive, demanding real-time responsiveness and continuous availability. In these cases, MySQL Cluster provides the familiarity and ease-of-use of the regular MySQL Server, while delivering significantly higher levels of write performance with less complexity, lower latency and 99.999% availability. This webinar will discuss the use-cases for both approaches, and provide an insight into how MySQL Cluster is enabling users to scale their update-intensive web services.
The webinar starts at 09:00 Pacific/17:00 UK/18:00 CET today (June 9th 2010).
Still time to register (for free) at http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/web-seminars/display-545.html – even if you can’t attend, this way you’ll get sent a link to the charts and replay.
