Performance tuning any system provides more speed for the same hardware spend, gives the end-user a better, faster experience and typically reduces the stress on staff all around. Security tuning locks down critical data to prevent unauthorized access. Today we will explore both the security and performance enhancements available for the Tungsten Replicator THL sub-system as of version 7.x.
Sometimes you really, really want to know what a MySQL client is asking of the MySQL server. As of Tungsten Clustering v7.0.0, you may now enable Connector Audit Logging, which captures data transferred between client applications and MySQL servers to a file, database or socket. This blog post will walk you through the feature and how to enable, configure and disable Tungsten Connector Audit Logging.
Deploying Composite Active/Active clusters gives end-users the best experience no matter where they are located. Tungsten Cluster makes this possible with the deployment of MySQL clusters at geo-scale, allowing the enterprise to host clusters close to the users. How can we avoid write-conflicts with asynchronous replication and multiple primary databases?
In this post we will explore a new command in v7.0.1, tpm report. The purpose of tpm report is to provide easy access to all of the settings that pertain to a specific topic. Since Security is a high priority at Continuent, the current default (and only) topic is the Security stance. The tpm report command will evolve and grow over time. This first version is Continuent’s way of providing as much transparency about Tungsten Cluster Security as possible.
We are pleased to announce that Tungsten Clustering and Tungsten Replicator GA version 6.1.17 are now available. Tungsten allows enterprises running business-critical MySQL database applications to cost-effectively achieve continuous global operations with commercial-grade high availability (HA), geographically redundant disaster recovery (DR) and geographically distributed active/active.
Scalability is necessary to keep your database from crumbling under increased traffic. A scalable database must be able to handle larger data sets and more queries per second (both read and write), and the architecture must support these higher workloads seamlessly and efficiently. This blog attempts to explain what sharding is versus the pod architecture that some of our customers employ.
When an application is a primary source of revenue for an organization, keeping Production operations going is critical. This blog discusses three things that can help prevent issues in Production.

Tungsten is the go-to replication and clustering solution for MySQL - powering real-world, geo-distributed business-critical applications. Sometimes we get asked by those who are not familiar with us, what we mean by “MySQL,” and this blog is meant to shed some light on this question.
One of the common misconceptions about Continuent is that because Tungsten does not have an open source license, we do not support open source. In fact, quite the opposite, in everything we do. The whole purpose of Tungsten Clustering is to empower and enable teams that build business-critical applications on open source databases.
This leads us to the subject of this blog: how Tungsten is designed for openness.
