Schooner Information Technology Hosts MySQL Expert Peter Zaitsev in Informative Datacenter Scaling Webinar

Learn Real-World Strategies for Effective Web 2.0 and Cloud Datacenter Scaling Through MySQL Optimization in Webinar to be Held Thursday, June 25

MENLO PARK, Calif., June 18, 2009

WHO: Peter Zaitsev, co-founder and chief executive officer of Percona, and Brian O'Krafka, vice president and fellow at Schooner Information Technology, Inc., a provider of data access appliances for information-intensive Web 2.0 and cloud computing datacenters. Zaitsev is an expert in MySQL performance optimization and scaling and has helped many companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 with their performance and scaling problems in various stages from architecture design to queries and schema optimization. O'Krafka focuses on the performance analysis of clustered services for Internet data centers, and before joining Schooner, spent eight years at IBM and seven years at Sun working on multiprocessor verification and performance analysis.

WHAT: Zaitsev and O'Krafka will present a technical webinar addressing the challenges Web 2.0 and cloud computing datacenters face: inability to manage rapid data growth and complexity coupled with skyrocketing power and space costs based on today's existing technology. The webinar will provide real-world strategies for leveraging technology advances in multi-core processors, high speed interconnect, flash memory and middleware software and effectively scaling MySQL. Participants in the webinar will learn how to:

• Accelerate MySQL Enterprise™ performance
• Scale MySQL Enterprise to handle growing data volumes
• Simplify integration projects
• Reduce or eliminate sharding
• Lower rack, power and pipe requirements
• Cut total cost of ownership by 60 percent

WHEN: Thursday, June 25, 2009 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. PDT / 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. EDT / 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. GMT

WHY: Today's data-intensive Web 2.0 and cloud computing datacenters face soaring costs and data growth. Even the latest advances in flash memory and multi-core processors have failed to address these scaling challenges. Clearly a new approach is needed. Join noted MySQL authority Peter Zaitsev and Schooner Information Technology for an informative one-hour webinar that will provide real-world strategies for leveraging these technology advances and effectively scaling MySQL.
