How your very large databases can work in the cloud computing world?Moshe Kaplan
How your very large databases can work in the cloud computing world?
Presented by Moshe Kaplan from RockeTier, a performance expert and scale out architect at the IGT Cloud Computing work group at April 20, 2009
Cloud computing is famous for its flexibility, dynamic nature and ability to infinite growth. However, infinite growth means very large databases with billions of records in it. This leads us to a paradox: "How can weak servers support very large databases which usually require several CPUs and dedicated hardware?"
The Internet industry proved it can be done. These days many of the Internet giants, processing billions of events every day, are based on cloud computing architecture such and sharding. What is Sharding ? What kinds of Sharding can you implement? What are the best practices?
RockeTier specializes in analyzing and boosting existing software
performance and developing efficient high-load systems

17. Poll Question – Why Did Marketo Choose
Continuent?
As an up-and-coming SaaS back in 2009,
what do you think were the key reason(s)
that Marketo chose to work with Continuent?
Availability
Scalability
Performance
Cost
All of the above
None of the above
18. Why Did Marketo Choose Continuent?
All of the above
None of the above
19. Why Did Marketo Choose Continuent?
Marketo was hitting a wall with MySQL performance-
related challenges.
They had concluded that the only path forward to grow
their business was to replace MySQL with a very
expensive, monolithic Oracle database.
And then Marketo discovered a better way – the
Continuent way!
22. Marketo Challenge - Performance
In high-transaction-volume environments,
replication latency can cause the slaves to fall
behind.
This ’slave lag’ is highly undesirable.
Before Continuent stepped in to help
Marketo, some of the slaves were up to three
(3) days behind the master due to the billions
of daily transactions and slow MySQL
replication apply on the slaves.

23. Marketo Challenge - Performance
Tungsten Clustering includes robust parallel
replication.
This increases apply performance on slaves
by using multiple threads on the target.
Deploying parallel replication reduced the
slave lag dramatically, dropping the latency
from days to mere minutes for Marketo.
Parallel apply provides sub-second latency for
most Tungsten customers.

24. Marketo Challenge – Availability
How is high availability achieved?
With Tungsten Clustering’s built-in seamless
and robust automatic master failover
capability.
What is the result?
Our customers enjoy greater uptime,
including being able to perform all
maintenance operations with zero downtime
while keeping their business-critical services
online.
25. Marketo Challenge – Availability
What Is the Key to Success for Availability?
Tungsten Connector – The Intelligent MySQL
Proxy
Allows client MySQL traffic to be seamlessly
(re)routed to another node during
maintenance operations and failovers,
providing maximum control and uptime.
26. Marketo Challenge – Scalability
How is scalability achieved?
By utilizing a Tungsten Clustering pod
architecture
Each pod can host several customers based
on their database sizes and data transaction
volumes.
By using a pod-style architecture, additional
pods can be easily deployed when the
previous pod reaches capacity.

28. Marketo Challenge – Scalability
Easy automation
Tungsten cluster deployments can be easily
automated using many different DevOps tools,
allowing new pods to come online as needed and
without manual effort.
This is especially true in cloud and VM environments,
where no bare-metal server hardware needs to be
deployed first.
29. Marketo Challenge - Cost
Tungsten Clustering uses an annual
subscription model based on the number of
database nodes.
We do not charge per CPU count or instance
size.
Our pricing is non-linear: the price-per-node
drops significantly as the quantity of nodes
increases.
30. Marketo Challenge - Cost
True Up, No License Keys, Trust
The unique Continuent True-Up policy: during the
agreed subscription period, customer may launch
additional nodes at no extra cost.
No license key required: there is no risk of service
becoming unavailable when the subscription expires.
Everything we do is based on the honor system:
• We trust our customers
• We expect to have a long-term relationship with
our customers
• Our current average customer life-span is seven (7)
years and getting longer.

38. MySQL HA/DR for Medical Data SaaS
Challenge: Using AWS allowed Customer to rapidly provision
database and application servers, but the instances,
underlying storage, and management interface
were not highly available.
By using Tungsten Clustering, Customer can quickly
deploy clusters in AWS and recover from multi-
zone AWS outages.
Solution: Customer’s current, growing deployment includes
17 Tungsten MySQL clusters in AWS (totaling 68
MySQL servers) using a Pod Architecture.
Each Pod includes a 3-node Tungsten Cluster
deployed in multi-AZ AWS, and a DR cluster
deployed in another AWS region with all replication
traffic encrypted in-flight.

world-wide player accounts, and several hundred
million player accounts combined.
Topology: Multi-Cloud MySQL
[Composite Active/Passive Tungsten Clustering
topology
One Active Cluster and Multiple Passive Clusters
in four (4) AWS Cloud Regions
40. Geo-Scale MySQL for Global Gaming Operations
Challenge: Servicing a single application for a geographically-
distributed audience is a unique challenge.
It requires fast local response times for read traffic,
a limited number of updates, and a single
consolidated view of the data across the world.
This is very typical for gaming applications, and for
all account/subscription management systems.
Solution: Geo-distributed Composite Tungsten clusters (one
active and three passive MySQL clusters) in USA
West (Active), USA East (Passive), EMEA (Passive)
and APAC (Passive).
