Continuent Tungsten Replicator Is Now 100% Open Source

Press Release | Continuent | April 22, 2013

New Tungsten Replicator Version 2.1 adds new features, open sources replication between MySQL and Oracle databases, and offers replication from Oracle to Oracle databases

Percona Live - MySQL Conference & Expo, Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) April 22, 2013 -- Continuent, Inc., a leading provider of clustering and replication solutions for MySQL™ and Oracle®, today announced the availability of completely open sourced Tungsten Replicator 2.1. This release includes previously closed-source capabilities to extract data in real time from Oracle EE and SE servers, including RAC.

Tungsten Replicator is a high performance, open source, data replication engine for MySQL and Oracle, released under a GPL V2 license and available for a free download at http://code.google.com/p/tungsten-replicator. Tungsten Replicator is also one of the core components of Continuent’s state-of-the-art clustering solution, Continuent Tungsten.

Tungsten Replicator 2.1 offers a set of features that surpass any open source replication solution available today: parallel, multi-master and heterogeneous replication. Tungsten Replicator benefits include:

  • Provides low-impact, real-time replication with up-to 5X throughput over native MySQL and over 100X reduction in slave lag.
  • Enables efficient multi-master operation across sites using a variety of replication topologies including bi-directional, all-masters, stars, and snowflakes.
  • Replicates heterogeneously between MySQL and Oracle as well as from Oracle to Oracle itself.
  • Loads data in real-time from Oracle and MySQL to high-performance data warehouses like Vertica and InfiniDB.
  • Publishes data in real-time from Oracle and MySQL to NoSQL implementations, such as MongoDB.
  • Permits flexible filtering and inspection of transactions during replication.
  • Cloud-ready with easy installation and management that works in both cloud as well as on-premise environments.

Best of all, these features are available to you as an open source release that is ready to solve your most extreme replication problems. We like to call this “GoldenGate without the price tag.”

Continuent offers consulting services to create replication filters, deploy complex replication topologies in production, and Tungsten Replicator support subscription with 24/7 support with a fast response time.

“We are using Tungsten Replicator to replicate data from our Oracle RAC databases to edge MySQL databases. A single Oracle table can be routed to multiple MySQL master/slave setups, each supporting separate applications. Tungsten Replicator is allowing us to seamlessly and economically transition to a more diverse database portfolio,” says Kurt Guisti, Sr. Database Administrator at Carfax.
