Upcoming webinar: MySQL Cluster deployment best practices

On Wednesday 25 August, Johan Anderson and Mat keep will be presenting a free webinar on the best practices for deploying MySQL Cluster. If you’d like to attend then just register here.

Johan has years of MySQL Cluster professional services experience – and so if you’re interested in deploying a product ready MySQL Cluster database then this is a must-view session. Even if you can’t make it live, register anyway and you’ll be sent a link to the recording and charts afterwards.

Content

An invaluable session for those who are about to, or who already have, deployed MySQL Cluster. Delivered by the lead MySQL Cluster professional services consultant in Oracle, this session will present best practices on deploying MySQL Cluster in order to accelerate time to service with the highest levels of availability and performance to support your most critical web and telecoms applications.

The session will cover:

Free webinar – Scaling web apps with MySQL (an alternative to the MEMORY storage engine)

Mat Keep and I will be presenting this free webinar on Wednesday 14 July.

The MEMORY storage engine has been widely adopted by MySQL users to provide near-instant responsiveness with use cases such as caching and web session management. As these services evolve to support more users, so the scalability and availability demands can start to exceed the capabilities of the MEMORY storage engine.

The MySQL Cluster database, which itself can be implemented as a MySQL storage engine, is a viable alternative to address these evolving web service demands. MySQL Cluster can be configured and run in the same way as the MEMORY storage engine (ie on a single host with no replication and no persistence). As web services evolve, any of these attributes can then be added in any combination to deliver higher levels of scalability, availability and database functionality, especially for those workloads which predominately access data by the primary key.

As always, the webinar is free of charge but you will need to register here.

Time:

• Wed, Jul 14: 06:00 Hawaii time
• Wed, Jul 14:  09:00 Pacific time (America)

Webinar today – Scaling Web Services with MySQL Cluster, Part 1: An Alternative to MySQL Server & memcached

The replay of this webinar is now available from http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/on-demand-webinars/display-od-545.html

MySQL and memcached has become, and will remain, the foundation for many dynamic web services with proven deployments in some of the largest and most prolific names on the web. There are classes of web services however that are update-intensive, demanding real-time responsiveness and continuous availability. In these cases, MySQL Cluster provides the familiarity and ease-of-use of the regular MySQL Server, while delivering significantly higher levels of write performance with less complexity, lower latency and 99.999% availability. This webinar will discuss the use-cases for both approaches, and provide an insight into how MySQL Cluster is enabling users to scale their update-intensive web services.

The webinar starts at 09:00 Pacific/17:00 UK/18:00 CET today (June 9th 2010).

Still time to register (for free) at http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/web-seminars/display-545.html – even if you can’t attend, this way you’ll get sent a link to the charts and replay.

Another free webinar today – FreeRADIUS & MySQL Cluster: Scalable and Highly Available AAA Services

As network use grows and services become more dynamic, so existing Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) environments can struggle to keep pace with demand.

Tune into this webinar where you can hear from the Alan Dekok, one of the founders of the FreeRADIUS project and CEO of Network RADIUS, discuss the concepts and implementation of RADIUS services using the FreeRADIUS server and the MySQL Cluster database to deliver highly available and scalable AAA services.

As always, this webinar is free and you can register here. I will be manning the Q&A during the webinar.

In this session, you will learn about:

• potential AAA limitations as network environments grow
• advantages of deploying FreeRADIUS with MySQL Cluster
• Performance, sizing and deployment of an AAA environment using FreeRADIUS with MySQL Cluster
• customer case studies
• how to get started

Join us for the last of our 4 part webinar series exploring the different aspects of using MySQL as the backend database for online applications. With real life experience gained working with MySQL Customers such as Facebook, Alcatel Lucent and Google, this webinar series will give you the information you need to run scalable, highly available online applications.

In this last installment we look at MySQL high availability technologies and architectures. We will explore the uses cases for implementing:

• MySQL Replication
• MySQL Cluster
• Distributed Replicated Block Device (DRBD)
• Other high-availability technologies

Also, covered will be the fundamentals of how these technologies work and how they can be combined to create a more scalable and highly available database infrastructure. Several case studies will be presented to show how these technologies have been implemented in the real world.

Whether you are already using MySQL for your online application or considering it for a new project then register today to learn how you can make best use of the world’s most popular database for online applications.
