Tokutek Introduces Next-Generation MySQL Storage Engine, Delivering 10 to 50 Times Faster Performance for Queries on Live Data

Database Pioneer Launches TokuDB for MySQL v2.0 at the 2009 MySQL User
Conference
BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
Database pioneer Tokutek, Inc. announced today that it will officially launch
TokuDB for MySQL v2.0 at the 2009 MySQL User Conference & Expo in Santa Clara,
CA (April 20th - 23rd). Based on a powerful new technology called Fractal Tree
Indexing, TokuDB v2.0 enhances MySQL`s scalability and performance, accelerating
per-server performance by 10x-50x. TokuDB v2.0 is a MySQL storage engine,
providing drop-in compatibility with existing MySQL code and applications.

"If you need to store large amounts of data and query it immediately, most MySQL
storage engines fall short," said Curt A. Monash, Ph.D., President of Monash
Research. "For users who need latency in the sub-10 second range, Tokutek tells
a very appealing story."

Customers in diverse markets such as ad targeting and network monitoring find
that ever increasing data rates, database sizes, and query complexity eventually
strain MySQL`s capabilities. Users often resort to awkward and expensive
workarounds such as aggregating data to keep data set size manageable, adding
additional servers or main memory to handle the load, or sharding or
partitioning to reduce data set size. TokuDB v2.0 eliminates the need for these
workarounds by greatly increasing MySQL`s performance while retaining full MySQL
compatibility.

"Tokutek`s mission is to firmly establish MySQL as a first tier enterprise class
database, especially for customers who need to simultaneously query and store
live data," said Tokutek CEO, John Partridge. "With new technologies like SSD
and high core count hardware becoming available, it is essential that MySQL take
full advantage - and our Fractal Tree technology does exactly that."

Users with an existing MySQL deployment at its performance limit as well as
those who are considering different databases for new projects are invited to
visit Tokutek`s booth and learn more at the 2009 MySQL User Conference & Expo in
Santa Clara, CA on April 20-23. For whitepapers, downloads, and more information

The TokuDB for MySQL v2.0 storage engine will be available in May, 2009. TokuDB
