@High Availability Solutions for MySQL
Databases are at the center of modern enterprise applications and store an organization’s most valuable assets including customer information, product information, order information and historical data. Plus, organizations rely on databases to run their business-critical applications. Hours or even minutes of downtime often result in significant amounts of lost revenue and unsatisfied customers. Therefore, making database applications highly available is a top priority for all organizations.
以数据库为中心的现代企业应用 , 存储着一个组织最重要的资产 , 包括客户信息 , 产品信息 , 订单信息和历史数据 . 此外 , 组织依赖数据库运行他们的关键业务应用 . 数小时甚至几分钟的停机往往会导致大量的收入损失和客户投诉 . 因此 , 实现数据库应用高可用性对所有组织来说 , 都是优先考虑的事情 .
MySQL provides a number of options to make their database infrastructure highly available. Selecting which high availability solution is right for you will largely depend on how many “nines” of availability you require and the type of application you are deploying. MySQL provides you with the following options:
MySQL 提供了多项选择 , 使他们的数据库基础结构高可用性 . 选择怎样的高可用性解决方案才是正确的 , 这在很大程序上取决于要求几个 9 的可用性和你部署的应用类型 .MySQL 提供以下几种选择 :
 ( 以下是关于几个 9 的意思 , 简单来说 ,9 的个数越多 , 表明一年停机的时间就越短 )

方案1 <MySQL Replication>
Using MySQL Replication, organizations can cost-effectively deliver a high availability solution. Master/Slave Replication enables operations to manually fail-over to another server in the event of a hardware or software problem. In addition, with MySQL replication, organizations can incrementally scale out their infrastructure to accommodate exponentially growing capacity demands. MySQL Replication ships out of the box and is used by some of the world’s most highly trafficked Web sites including YouTube, Yahoo!, flickr, Wikipedia and craigslist.
使用 MySQL 复制 , 组织可以经济有效的提供一个高可用性的解决方案 . 主从 / 复制能够使业务在发生硬件或软件问题的时候手动故障转移到另一台服务器 . 此外 , 使用 MySQL 复制 , 组织能够逐步进行他们的基础结构 , 以适应急剧增长的容量需求的能力 .MySQL 被一些世界上高流量的网站包括 YouTube,Yahoo,Flickr, Wikipedia and craigslist. 所使用 .
 
方案2 <DRBD for MySQL >
DRBD for MySQL is a solution that combines MySQL, Linux Heartbeat, and Distributed Replicated Block Device (DRBD) so organizations can deliver a synchronously replicated high availability solution. Linux Heartbeat manages failover and DRBD synchronously propagates data to another node in an Active/Passive configuration. In the event the Active Server fails, Linux Heartbeat will promote the Passive node to an Active state, while DRBD will ensure the resynchronization of data after the failure. DRBD for MySQL is ideal for adding High Availability to new and existing MySQL applications.
DRBD 的 MySQL 一个解决方案 . 它结合 MySQ L ﹑ linux 心跳和分布式复制块设备 (DRBD), 以便组织能够一个同步复制的高可用性解决方案 .linux 心跳管理故障转移和 DRBD 同步传播数据到另一个节点的主动 / 被动配置 . 如果主服务器失败 , 当 DRBD 确保重新同步数据失败后 ,linux 心跳会提升被动节点成为活动状态 .DRBD 的 MySQL 是理想的高可用以增加新的和现有的 MySQL 应用 .      
方案3 < MySQL Cluster >
MySQL Cluster enables organizations to deliver 5 Nines (99.999%) availability using a parallel server architecture with no single point of failure. MySQL Cluster is an in-memory storage engine that synchronously replicates data to all data nodes in the cluster. This results in sub-second response time and extremely fast failover. Data partitioning, fail-over, and recovery are all automatically handled by MySQL Cluster. MySQL Cluster is used by the world’s leading telecom organizations including Alcatel-Lucent, Nortel and Nokia.
MySQL 簇能够使组织提供 5 个 9(99.999%), 使用一个并行的服务器架构 , 并且没有单点故障的可用性 .MySQL 簇是一个内存中的存储引擎 , 同步复制数据到集群中其它所有节点 . 这一结果堪称秒级响应时间和极速的故障转移 . 数据分区 , 失效转移和恢复都交由 MySQL 簇自动处理 . MySQL 簇使用者有世界领先电信组织包括阿尔卡特 , 北电和诺基亚 .
 
@Caching Solutions for MySQL
High-volume web applications require caching to improve application performance and scalability. Integrating a caching tier into Web application architectures can:

@Cloud Computing Solutions for MySQL
Cloud computing environments are proving to be the next wave of cost-effective architectures for delivering web-scale database-driven applications. Because cloud computing environments allow for scalability on demand, combined with a "pay as you go" pricing model, applications can be scaled up or down dynamically to accommodate changing workloads and business requirements. At the same time, users only incur costs for the capacity they actually use. This removes the high costs associated with idle resources and dedicated maintenance for CPU, memory, network bandwidth and data storage. Cloud computing solutions for MySQL makes it easy to develop, deploy, and manage your new and existing MySQL-backed applications in a virtual computing environment.
云计算环境被证实是下一波有成本效益的架构 , 它提供网络规模的数据库驱动应用程序 . 由于云计算环境允许可扩展性的需求 , 再加上一个 ” 现收现付 ” 的定价模式 , 应用能够向上向下动态伸缩 , 以适应不断变化的工作量和业务需求 . 同时 , 用户仅担负他们实际使用能力的成本 . 这消除了闲置资源和 CPU, 内存 , 网络带宽和数据存储带来的高成本 . 云计算解决方案使 MySQL 更容易开发 , 部署和管理于新的和现有基于 MySQL 的应用程序在一个虚拟计算环境下
