WHITE PAPERS

 

MySQL Fabric—A Guide to Managing MySQL High Availability and Scaling Out

MySQL fabric is built around an extensible and open source framework for managing farms of MySQL servers. Two features have been implemented to support high availability and scaling out using data sharding. These features can be used in isolation or in combination. In this white paper, you will learn what MySQL fabric is, what it can achieve, and how it is used—by DBAs, dev-ops, and developers. You'll also be exposed to what is happening behind the scenes.
Download the white paper.


A Guide to MySQL Enterprise Monitor

MySQL is the world's most popular open source database, relied on for its performance, scalability, quality, ease-of-use, and low cost. MySQL Enterprise Monitor helps ensure that MySQL is optimized for your application from the start and at all times thereafter. MySQL Enterprise Monitor also allows you to monitor and manage multiple MySQL instances more efficiently and effectively.
