First they gave the world Amanda, and now they've given MySQL users a new reason to rejoice with the launch of Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM) for MySQL. I recently got to speak to Paddy Sreenivasan, the Vice President of Engineering and co-founder of Zmanda Inc., amidst his busy schedule, about what they do and why MySQL users should be jumping towards ZRM for MySQL for all their backup & recovery needs.

Especially on the Internet, where you have millions of users which theoretically access your database simultaneously, eventually your IO system will be a bottleneck. Conventional solutions: In general, as a first step, MySQL Replication is used to scale-out in such a situation. MySQL Replication scales very well when you have a high read/write (r/w) ratio. The higher the better. But also such a MySQL Replication system hits its limits when you have a huge amount of (write) access. Because database systems have random disk access, it's not the throughput of your IO system that's relevant but the IO per second (random seek). You can scale this in a very limited way by adding more disks to your IO system, but here too you eventually hit a limit (price).

MySQL is a database engine used by eZ publish to store content. While other databases are supported by eZ publish (such as PostgreSQL and Oracle), for performance reasons we recommend MySQL. This article has suggestions for optimizing for either read or write operations, and also discusses some other optimization techniques such as DNS and filesystem configuration.
