Reduce Server Admin Hassles

Managing your datacenter can be tough. You face end user demands for high performance and high availability, and pressures to reduce cost and do more with less. Juggling all of this is particularly challenging when you need to support rapid growth. You have to worry about adding new servers, new racks, getting enough power to run and cool the servers, finding experienced DBAs, and more.

Slash the Number of Servers You Need

If you want to reduce your admin burden, why not just slash the number of servers you have to administer? It's easy to do using SchoonerSQL™ and Membrain™, our two software products for standard HP, Dell, and IBM x86 servers, that enable dramatic server consolidation.

SchoonerSQL is a full SQL database, 100% compatible with the widely-used MySQL and its standard InnoDB storage engine, that delivers 5 9s availability with great performance and radically simplified administration. SchoonerSQL eliminates the tradeoffs between high performance and high availability that users have had to make with other databases.

Membrain™ is a flash-optimized 100%-compatible memcached software cache and persistent NoSQL data store. Membrain allows high-speed access up to 512 GB of cache or data store on a single server, eliminating the need to shard data across servers and keep it in the available DRAM. Membrain also includes synchronous replication and guaranteed no data loss.

Look into SchoonerSQL and Membrain and find that each delivers dramatic server consolidation as well as high availability, at the industry's lowest TCO (total cost of ownership).

Breakthrough Economics from Breakthrough Architecture

That's because SchoonerSQL and Membrain use a breakthrough architecture that fully exploits the power of modern commodity hardware. Schooner customers cut their hardware capex and their opex in power, pipe, and people needed to run the smaller number of servers. That doesn't factor in any of the savings from freeing cycles of IT ops staff and DBAs to focus on the other urgent things on their to-do lists.

Users have documented eight- or ten- or even twelve-to-one consolidation compared to traditional servers using HDDs, and two- or three-to-one compared to servers using SSDs but not using our software. In and of itself this is huge progress toward reducing the admin burden.

Enjoy Simplified Admin GUIs

Day-to-day, the simple but powerful SchoonerSQL and Membrain GUIs further reduce your admin burden. Each Schooner GUI provides easy management of multiple Schooner-powered servers of that type through a single console. SchoonerSQL in particular enables One-Click management of clusters, replication and failover, across LAN or WAN, solving the usabilty problems of traditional MySQL.
