Creating a High Availability Database Solution, the Easy Way

In this white paper SkySQL's Software Architect, Mark Riddoch, discusses the use of SkySQL Reference Architecture Provisioning System to painlessly create a high availability MySQL® database server.

Famously one of the cornerstones of the MySQL Database was the 15 minute  rule; a user should be able to download, install and have a database running within 15 minutes. The provisioning system, within the SkySQL Reference Architecture, takes this one stage further, allowing users to quickly build not only the central database server, but a complete data solution utilising components from the wider ecosystem.  The simple user interface allows intuitive and rapid development of solutions for common database scenarios such as replication and high availability.
