Clustering for media and publishers

Emic Networks, known for application clustering solutions for open source, has announced a partnership with Zenplex, which specializes in designing and integrating workflow offerings for the media, print and publishing industries.

Under the terms of the deal, Zenplex will be offering Emic’s “m/cluster” solution to enterprise customers requiring high availability, reliability and scalability services. Emic says m/cluster is a middleware solution that can be added to existing MySQL database applications transparently. Emic says that in addition to providing high availability, performance scalability, load balancing and automatic fail-over, m/cluster generates a consistent view of all MySQL data despite any outages of individual servers.
