Boston, Massachusetts, April 6, 2012 – Akiban Technologies, a Boston-based startup company which provides innovative and elegant database solutions by using Table Grouping, promotes their products and services that can greatly help in MySQL performance tuning.

Akiban products and services were designed to achieve the optimum MySQL performance. This is very vital if you like to get as much customers or visitors to your Website. As Mark de Visser, Chief Marketing Officer for Akiban Technologies puts it, “Business opportunity exists in leveraging dynamic, rich data, often ‘big data’ in real-time in today’s operational systems. Rich data may present a clear business opportunity, but slow queries will just as quickly wipe it out.”

Akiban Technologies recently launched their three products namely Akiban Server Enterprise Edition, Akiban Server, and MySQL Replication Adapter. All of them use Akiban’s Table Grouping that can help improve performance and scalability over traditional relational databases.

The Akiban Server Enterprise Edition (EE) comes with MySQL Replication Adapter as well as Akiban Studio which can greatly help in resolving issues in performance and scalability of most MySQL production databases. It can accelerate queries from 10 up to 100 times faster than it would normally take with traditional databases. With the Enterprise Edition, you can ensure safe migration to avoid all the risks and disruptions that may be caused by application rewrites.

Another great innovation from Akiban is their Akiban Server which they consider as the open core of all Akiban solutions. It is an all-java-driven database system which also uses Table Grouping technology to break all the barriers in the performance and scalability of your database. It works by eliminating the cost of joins thus improving the performance for up to 100 times. Its key features include SQL and Key-
Value access patterns, Seamless ORM integration, and Intelligent Scale-out. Although it is a part of Akiban Server Enterprise Edition, the company will be releasing it as a standalone database in 2012.

To complete the list of Akiban’s products is the MySQL Replication Adapter. It is a storage engine for MySQL 5.5 or later versions that use Akiban Server. Using this, you can replicate a MySQL master database to an Akiban slave database. This product has several advantages and can do several functions including the ability to replicate from the MySQL master database using the standard replication method. It can also replicate MySQL tables to optimize Akiban Server table groups instantly and enable the Akiban Server to always sync with the MySQL master database. Most importantly, if anything goes wrong, it can be set-up in failover mode back to master database or Akiban Server. For mysql performance tuning without the risk of a full-scale database replacement, MySQL Replication Adapter can be your perfect tool.

In one of their promotional campaigns, Mark de Visser stated, “We find it thrilling to work with new operators, algebra and relational optimizers to let you experience the full power of SQL and logical modeling of data. We guarantee that our products will give you the performance and maximum scalability you need for your business.”
