Welcome to the Continuent∞ Community

Continuent.org is an open source community portal dedicated to improving the availability and performance of databases and database applications. Our mission is to provide accessible, capable technology based on the scale-out principle--spreading data horizontally across hosts and sites.

Continuent hosts projects offering a variety of scale-out technologies. Our projects are database- and application server-agnostic. We offer solutions that work for a wide variety of applications and scale-out use cases.

Tungsten Is Coming Soon!

Continuent.org is changing! On August 28, 2008 we will release a new architecture for our open source technologies. It's called Tungsten.

What is Tungsten?

Tungsten is a stack of integrated technologies for building clusters and scalable data services. Tungsten provides a comprehensive set of building blocks for scale-out designs.

• Data Services integrate multiple copies of data into a single highly available, performant database
• Database Virtualization with controlled data latency and consistency routes requests automatically and simplifies application layers
• Database-Neutral Replication designed for high availability creates copies of data across servers
• Cluster-Aware Management Framework backed by excellent graphical tools ensures easy operation and handing of failures
• Stack Organization of technology allows substitution and extensions to build solutions for a wide range of problems

And that's just the beginning... For a presentation on Tungsten click here∞.
