Continuent Tungsten harnesses the power of advanced open source and commercial technologies to deliver data availability and performance scalability solutions that are based on the Tungsten open source components, a unique collection of solutions for database scale-out.

Continuent Tungsten offers easy to manage, dynamic database clusters with the highest levels of availability and scalability for Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL.

"Continent has extended its expertise in clustering MySQL databases to PostgreSQL and now Oracle, and with Tungsten is moving beyond high availability clustering to enterprise-level scalability and replication," said Matthew Aslett, analyst, Enterprise Software, The 451 Group.

Continuent Tungsten solutions are divided into four (4) offerings, Tungsten Easy HA, Tungsten Easy HA Plus, Tungsten Easy Scale and Tungsten Enterprise, designed to solve particular types of continuous data availability and performance scaling problems.

"Despite the reality with the current commercial solutions available from Oracle and other vendors, database clusters do not have to be difficult to deploy and use, nor do they have to be very expensive," said Eero Teerikorpi, CEO of Continuent.

Teerikorpi added, "Tungsten Easy product suite offers remarkably advanced data availability and performance scalability features at the level of easiness not seen before, and at fraction of the cost."

All four Continuent Tungsten solutions have the following common features:

* Integrated builds including all Tungsten components in a single download with automatic installation

* Commercial Tungsten extensions to improve management and security, replicate from commercial databases, and other features required for business critical use

* Auto configuration procedures for local as well as cloud environments

* Professional-quality documentation

* Regular releases and patches with extended support options for guaranteed turn-around on fixes

8x5 or 24x7 support, delivered by database experts.

"With Continuent Tungsten, MySQL becomes a true Enterprise database, able to handle scalability and fail over. Prior to Tungsten, MySQL was our only single point of failure and thus I could not recommend using MySQL in any critical application that required a high level of availability," said William Berks, enterprise infrastructure architect, IEEE Computer Society.
