MySQL and its standard InnoDB storage engine are widely popular for good reason. But using MySQL in the most demanding mission-critical applications has been tough because MySQL has poor built-in support for high availability. Schooner has taken a breakthrough approach to create SchoonerSQL&trade: a full distribution of MySQL and InnoDB which offers 99.999% availability, high performance, radically simplified cluster administration, and a lower total cost of ownership than any SQL database - including MySQL community edition. In this talk Schooner CEO Jerry Rudisin will describe SchoonerSQL in detail including its support for high-speed multi-threaded full synchronous replication across a LAN; high-speed multi-threaded asynchronous replication across a WAN; automated immediate failover across LAN or WAN; and the simplifications in admin through the SchoonerSQL GUI.

Learn why SchoonerSQL can guarantee no lost or stale data and how it eliminates the tedious error-prone manual steps usually required for failover and recovery using MySQL. And learn why SchoonerSQL's throughput with replication is 3x to 4x faster than MySQL Enterprise Edition or MySQL Cluster, all while using standard InnoDB. SchoonerSQL runs on standard x86 Dell, HP and IBM Red Hat Linux or CentOS servers, and can be downloaded from the Schooner web site.
