Percona MySQL Multiple Instances with FlashMAX November 23rd - 2011 Scaling a MySQL database server has traditionally meant deploying in a so-called scale-out configuration, with many MySQL instances running on inexpensive machines. This strategy was also called horizontal scaling. In recent years, however, the rapid increases in hardware capacity and decreases in price made scale-out less economically desirable, and there was considerable pressure to make the software able to run on larger, more powerful servers. This scale-up or vertical scaling architecture remained out of reach...read more. |
