GoldenGate and MySQL introduce database tiering: a solution that allows you to augment your existing database infrastructure with a low-cost, high performance MySQL server farm. Database transactions are synchronized between the MySQL instances and other production databases in real-time while maintaining transaction integrity, and with support for very high volumes.

You don't need to burden your OLTP systems with repetitive database lookups, reporting applications, or other non-transactional operations. Database tiering allows you to distribute the workload and reduce the cost of ownership of your database infrastructure. Through database tiering, companies like Sabre Holdings are already realizing millions in annual savings.

This presentation discusses the database tiering concept, its applications, and answer questions around how to:

  • Identify if database tiering is the right choice for you
  • Off-load reporting and read-only operations to low-cost hardware and database servers and reduce the load on your OLTP systems
  • Augment your existing database infrastructure with a MySQL server farm and achieve unlimited scalability
  • Support thousands of transactions per second in real-time, cross-platform, and while maintaining transaction integrity
