MySQL & AWS: Scale-out your application database using multiple RDS instances.

What will you do when your RDS needs to scale for write-intensive OLTP workloads beyond Amazon’s largest available machine (with only eight cores)?

ScaleBase transparently consolidates multiple MySQL or RDS instances into one large logical database that gives IaaS customers unlimited database scalability for their on-line applications.

In this TechTalk webinar, Petr Dvorak, Director of Product Management at ScaleBase, discusses:

• Scaling out OLTP MySQL powered applications in cloud
• Building a large, high capacity MySQL database from multiple smaller database instances
• Adding capacity to databases in cloud with the speed of business demands, without limits
• Building scalable MySQL solutions for Rackspace and other cloud vendors

Database sharding, used by Facebook, Tumblr and Mozilla, is an incredibly powerful way to ensure MySQL systems scale-out and drive consistent, fast app performance to handle more users, more data, and more workloads.

Nowadays sharding can be automated, but how do you choose the right sharding rules to ensure optimal MySQL scalability and performance for your applications?

In this TechTalk webinar, Doron Levari CTO at ScaleBase, discusses how to:

- Determine if sharding is right for your organization
- Choose the best sharding policy for your applications
- Avoid sharding policy lock-in and data silos

MySQL is the world’s most popular open-source database, powering web-scale applications such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. MySQL continues to evolve rapidly, reaching more markets and powering more applications every day. Read More

Database sharding, used by Facebook, Tumblr and Mozilla, is an incredibly powerful way to ensure MySQL systems scale-out and drive consistent, fast app performance to handle more users, more data, and more workloads. But home-grown sharding is hard, full of caveats, and very often ends up as non-cost effective.

ScaleBase provides an easy to use platform to scale-out MySQL databases. It gives all the benefits of MySQL sharding, while eliminating the biggest challenges associated with sharding.

In this TechTalk webinar, Doron Levari CTO at ScaleBase, explains:
- MySQL scale-out without embedding code and re-writing apps
- Successful sharding on Amazon and private clouds
- Single vs. multiple shards per server
- Eliminating data silos
- Creating a redundant, fault tolerant architecture with no single-point-of-failure
- Re-balancing and splitting shards

Let’s say you run a company and you’re trying to get more people to visit your Web site. Your advertising agency comes up with an idea for a YouTube video with a tiny pig pulling your company’s product in a tiny wooden wheelbarrow. The video ends with a screen shot of your company’s logo and web site.

Before the YouTube video is posted, your web site functions nicely handling 100,000 visits a day. But the little pig YouTube video goes viral and suddenly your web site is getting two million daily hits. Your web site crashes since it can’t handle all the volume — instead of getting more potential customers to learn about your company, you get embarrassment.

ScaleBase’s products are built to make sure that if your company uses a database such as MySQL, it will automatically scale to meet the spikes in user demand, so that your company can turn that increased traffic into new customers.

ScaleBase does this by “scaling-out” the database so that businesses — such as customers Autodesk, AppDynamics and Mozilla – get the benefits of scaling their databases to meet increased demand — without adding hardware to their existing infrastructure and or re-writing their applications.

This just in: Data Traffic Manager 2.0 has arrived – and we’re pretty excited about it.

This major product upgrade focuses on giving next-gen app providers exactly they need – infinite scalability, support for multiple apps, easier deployment and a sleek new look. The enhancements allow app developers and DBAs to stay focused on innovation and improvement, rather than manually scaling out their apps.

Now, next-gen app providers have the ability to:

• Simultaneously scale multiple applications and databases
• Centrally manage and analyze complex, distributed database environments
• Support replicated databases across geographical boundaries
• Speed database queries and performance

ScaleBase is the only database scalability software that enables next-gen app developers to scale to an infinite number of users without changing their application code or existing infrastructure - in other words – with NO disruption to their business!

See the official press release here or read more about the new version here.

New Version of Data Traffic Manager Supports Infinite Application Scalability, a Sleek New Look and Easier-than-Ever Deployment

BOSTON – February 12, 2013 — ScaleBase, the company that keeps next gen apps and business-critical databases up-and-running, just released Data Traffic Manager 2.0.  It’s the only database scalability software that solves the three biggest challenges next-gen apps face when it comes to increased adoption: scalability, availability and centralized management – by providing scale out through advanced read/write splitting or data distribution in a single solution.  The result: the ability to scale to an infinite number of users and increase performance without requiring any changes to your existing MySQL infrastructure.

This major upgrade comes with a new, user-friendly interface, and gives app providers the most mature and robust way to virtualize their databases, with unmatched ability to:

• Simultaneously scale multiple applications and databases in a public or private cloud, dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of a distributed environment – something no other database scalability solution offers.
• Centrally manage and analyze complex, distributed database environments – detailing the operational health and utilization though a new web-based console.
• Support replicated databases across geographical boundaries, with location-independent load balancing and failover – a business continuity must have.
• Speed database queries and performance, with advanced read/write splitting, increased throughput and better resource allocation.  

“The enhancements in the new version are in direct response to what our customers and prospects are asking for: support for multiple apps, a more intuitive interface and easier deployment,” said Doron Levari, CTO and founder of ScaleBase. “We’re committed to giving app developers and DBAs everything they need to stay focused on app innovation, without having to worry about changing their infrastructure to scale out their apps.”

ScaleBase backs some of the fastest growing databases – including those used by the world’s largest chip manufacturer, one of the world’s largest and most widely respected manufacturers of smart phones and telecommunications hardware and software, and Mozilla, well-known for its Firefox browser.

Database Scalability & Availability: Critical to App Adoption
Next-gen app providers worldwide — including big names like Google, Amazon and Pinterest — are investing massive resources to ensure availability. Outages frustrate users, erode customer confidence and put revenue at risk.  ScaleBase automates failover, eliminating the risk of downtime; automatically detecting database outages and transparently failing over to backup instances – ensuring application availability.

ScaleBase’s Data Traffic Manager 2.0 is faster and easier to evaluate and deploy – and its new user interface gives app developers and DBAs instant access to the critical information they need, all while increasing overall database performance.  With ScaleBase, next-gen apps can scale out cost effectively, to an infinite number of users.

To learn more about scale-out strategies for MySQL databases, join ScaleBase for a joint webinar with 451 Research on February 28, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. EST. ScaleBase CTO Doron Levari will also discuss the new, key features of version 2.0.
