Schooner unveils Active Cluster for MySQL

SUNNYVALE, USA: Schooner Information Technology, Inc., solution provider for MySQL databases and NoSQL data stores has recently announced Schooner Active Cluster for MySQL Enterprise Edition.

MySQL, the world's most popular open-source database, is part of the mission-critical infrastructure of many Web 2.0, cloud computing, and enterprise data centers.

Schooner Active Cluster enables MySQL shops to scale out using high-performance fully synchronous replication and automated failover among the nodes in a MySQL cluster, said a press release.

The release further added, Active Cluster is a superset of Schooner for MySQL Enterprise Edition, which enables MySQL shops to scale by adding x86 cores and flash memory instead of servers, cutting the need for servers by a factor of 10.

"Schooner Active Cluster for MySQL Enterprise Edition slashes the downtime that costs you revenue, customers and reputation," said Jerry Rudisin, chief executive officer for Schooner Information Technology.

Schooner is built on patent-pending innovations in exploiting modern commodity hardware using multi-core x86 processors for extreme parallelism, fast flash memory for large capacity and superior performance, and modern networking for rapid replication and failover.

"By using Schooner Active Cluster for MySQL Enterprise Edition," Rudisin continued, "our customers can maximize their uptime and free their scarce DBA staff to focus on new projects that drive revenue instead of datacenter administrative issues and troubleshooting of node failures."

Active Cluster includes the full Schooner flash-optimized implementation of MySQL Enterprise Edition, which includes InnoDB and requires no schema, database, or application changes, added the release.
