Architecture Flexibility
The Joyent Virtual Appliance for MySQL can be deployed as an individual instance or as a cluster within a larger application deployment on the Joyent Cloud.
Fully Integrated in the Joyent Cloud
Joyent’s Virtual Appliance for MySQL is configured to work seamlessly with the Joyent Accelerator – the core of the Joyent Cloud.
Joyent Accelerators are virtualized machines with access to 8+ cores. They range in size from 1GB to 32+GB of RAM. Joyent Accelerators™ have persistent IP addresses and local storage making reboots and managing life cycle events straightforward and secure. They are deployed within an ecosystem of the fastest networking and routing fabric available. The general purpose Joyent Accelerator has Apache, Nginx, PHP, Ruby on Rails, and JAVA pre-installed.
MySQL Performance Benchmarks
Our team recently benchmarked the Joyent Virtual Appliance for MySQL against a comparable offering from Amazon EC2. The Joyent Virtual Appliance for MySQL consistently delivered 2 – 4 times better performance than MySQL on EC2!
MySQL Stability at Any Scale
The Joyent Virtual Appliance gives you maximum stability at scale. In a 13-month period the Whereivebeen.com application has completed 47,921,072,680 queries to its MySQL database without a single reboot and with no downtime.
“We were particularly brutal to that server, at one point we were doing well over 7000 queries per second. It is impressive how well one machine handled that much load” said Craig Ulliott, WhereI’veBeen Founder and CTO.
Joyent Virtual Appliances Minimize Costs!
The Joyent Cloud is one of the most cost effective infrastructure solutions currently available. According to a Gartner Consulting’s Worldwide IT Benchmark Group, small and medium sized businesses spend 60% of their IT budgets on hosting infrastructure. They go on to say, on average, companies spend 2.70% of their revenue on IT infrastructure.
Joyent Cloud infrastructure solutions help our customers drive down their costs well below industry standards. In fact, one of Joyent’s major customers with revenue around $180 million is currently running their infrastructure at only 0.56% of revenue!
MySQL Read-Write Splitting with Zeus Accelerators™
One of the greatest challenges to scaling a large MySQL cluster is successfully splitting traffic so that reads can be independently scaled from writes. Typically, splitting reads and writes requires adding customized code to your application. This code must be modified every time the growth of your application requires the support of additional read-only MySQL databases.
Zeus Accelerators™ on the Joyent Cloud provide you with a fast, efficient and truly scalable solution for this problem. Zeus Accelerators™ include the ability to inspect packets. Customized traffic script can be added to the Zeus Accelerators™ to send the MySQL writes to a Master DB and the reads to a sequence of MySQL Slave DBs.
The Zeus Accelerators™ on the Joyent Cloud lets you horizontally scale your MySQL cluster without forcing you to rewrite your application.
