EnterpriseDB Webinar: Building a Highly Available Infrastructure

A new Webinar about EnterpriseDB (not from me). Building a Highly Available Infrastructure for Your Database and Application.

It's next wednesday, September 26, 2007 at 9am and 2pm Eastern. I guess it repeats. It's an hour long.

Here's the blurb from the email I received:

What does an hour of downtime cost you? Analysts report that just one hour of downtime can cost businesses millions of dollars, and some never recover.

What applications are mission critical today? In the past, only those applications that controlled finances were considered mission-critical. But, today, almost every application, from your e-commerce website to your email and calendaring system, are considered mission-critical and candidates for high-availability planning.

While everyone agrees that downtime is caused by three major areas - people, processes and technology - every effort is being made to ensure that technology is never the cause.

Join EnterpriseDB and Continuent experts as they show you how to implement a highly available environment for your database infrastructure. Topics include:

• Online Operations
• Point-in-Time Recovery
• Back Up and Failover Processing
• Data Storage Access

You will also discover how Continuent uni/cluster technology can remove all single points of failure in your infrastructure by using a synchronous, multi-master approach to database replication. Key uni/cluster technology capabilities are:

• "Always On" database and application services with instant, automatic and transparent failover
• Automatic load balancing - use any database server to process user queries
• Near-linear scaling of application users and load

Questions and requests for additional information will be addressed to help you with your installation.

I plan to register and check it out. I'll post the highlights afterwards.

EnterpriseDB Webinar

I did the EnterpriseDB Migration webinar today. The webinar was recorded and will be posted on the EnterpriseDB web site. I'll update this post with a link as soon as it is.

I think it went well. Derek had a family emergency and was not able to participate but his stand-in Matthew Bennett knew his stuff. He did the intro and then the follow up. We both answered questions.

There were some really good questions. I will try to cover some those here, in the future. For now, you can view the powerpoint presentation.



I really like the plug. That's kind of a cool image.

Take care,

LewisC

EnterpriseDB Webinar - From Oracle to EnterpriseDB: An Oracle ACE's Journey

I will be doing a webinar next week, Aug 22 at 1PM Eastern. If you can't make it in real-time, the webinar will be recorded and will be available for viewing afterwards on the EnterpriseDB.com web site.

The webinar was announced in the EnterpriseDB press release for my book, EnterpriseDB Announces Availability of Definitive Reference Book.

From the press release:

Lewis Cunningham will describe his progression from EnterpriseDB skeptic to advocate in a live Webinar, From Oracle to EnterpriseDB: An Oracle ACE's Journey, on Wednesday, Aug. 22 at 1:00 p.m. EDT. The Webinar will also feature a step-by-step migration of an Oracle application to EnterpriseDB Advanced Server. To register for the Webinar, please visit www.enterprisedb.com/bookwebcast.

I'm really looking forward to doing this webinar. I did the ODTUG Desktop Conference in 2005. I did a security presentation and an Oracle XE presentation. Those were kind of the same. I will be talking and doing a PPT. Q&A will follow the presentation.

I'm also excited that the book is almost out. I have no idea when it will actually be out but it should happen shortly. I hope you can make the presentation.
