Schooner Information Technology Founder to Discuss Improving MySQL Performance at Surge Conference 2010


SUNNYVALE, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

Schooner Information Technology, Inc., a provider of scalable turnkey data-access appliances, today announced that Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Dr. John Busch will be participating in the Surge Conference 2010. Busch will be speaking about the impact of flash memory and synchronous replication on MySQL availability and scalability.

Recent studies indicate that the amount of data managed by today's datacenters will quadruple every 18 months. Datacenter managers are struggling to manage huge increases in rack, power and network utilization. The demands of the web 2.0 world can overwhelm datacenters in the blink of an eye. Current datacenter environments lack the ability to scale effectively to manage peak demand. In order to handle the high scale, performance and availability requirements of web 2.0 and cloud computing, businesses must learn how to adopt and integrate new component technologies and architectures into their datacenters.
