Vinay Joosery - PerconaLive 2014 - TheCUBE
Vinay Joosery, Severalnines, at PerconaLive 2014 with Jeff Frick @thecube #PerconaLive Joining Jeff Frick on theCUBE at last week's #PerconaLive event was Vinay Joosery, CEO and co-founder of Severalnines, a company whose name derives from the term connoting optimal percentage of availability DBA's strive for. Joosery took time to share with Frick the particulars behind Severalnines, their place in the MySQL space and the importance of embracing clustering as part of a planned failure strategy. Based in Sweden, Severalnines' core competency centers around the production of automation and management tools for database clusters. "We've been working for the past 10 to 15 years with database clusters," commented Joosery. "And recently, there's more and more clusters being put in production." His company, recognizing the relative difficulty associated with the operation and running of those clusters, has created a product that completely automates the process. "Operational people come to us to deploy their clusters. We also have management tools to help them add nodes, remove nodes, clone their clusters, do upgrades and all that stuff," he said. Though the company is just three years old, Joosery credits his team's having worked with the MySQL community over the past decade as key to their early success.
