Industry-leading clustering and replication for open source DBMS

Clustering – Commercial-grade HA, performance scaling, and data management for MySQL

Replication– Flexible, high-performance data movement

VMware Continuent

Business-Critical Deployment Examples

High Availability for MySQL

Largest cluster deployment performs 800M+ transactions/day on 275 TB of relational data

Business Continuity Cross-site cluster topologies widely deployed including primary/DR and multi-master

High Performance Replication

Largest installations transfer billions of transactions daily using high speed, parallel replication

Heterogeneous Integration

Customers replicate from MySQL to Oracle, Hadoop, Redshift, Vertica, and others

Real-time Analytics Optimized data loading for data warehouses with deployments of up to 200 MySQL masters feeding to Hadoop

vCloud Air is based on VMware vSphere - the most broadly deployed and trusted virtualization platform in the world

Supports a broad range of large-scale and mission-critical applications

SQL

Runs the largest number of guest operating systems: ▪  Generations of Windows and Linux distributions ▪  Both 32-bit and 64-bit editions ▪  Enterprise offering or free distribution

Failed Cluster

vCloud Air Dedicated Cloud Virtual Private Cloud

Compute Dedicated Server Cluster per Dedicated Cloud: •  30GHz vCPU •  120GB vRAM

Compute resource carved out of a “Dedicated Cloud”: •  5GHz Reserved vCPU •  5GHz Burstable vCPU

•  20GB vRAM

High Availability Based on VMware vSphere with vMotion, High Availability (HA) allows vCloud Air customers to:

▪ Minimize downtime from server cluster failures ▪ Increase protection across the deployed applications

Dedicated HA capacity is allocated for each Dedicated Cloud based on overall cluster size; shared HA capacity is allocated for each Virtual Private Cloud

In the event of physical server cluster failure, affected applications and virtual machines will be automatically restarted on the HA server cluster with spare capacity

Compute: Dedicated or VPC, All Highly Available

HA Cluster

Benefit: High Availability is part of the platform NO change to your legacy applications

Edge Gateway Secures the edge of the virtual data center and delivers network services: ▪ Firewall ▪ NAT ▪ Load Balancer ▪ Site-to-Site IPSec VPN ▪ Active/Standby High Availability ▪ Stateful Session Failover
