Schooner Information Technology:

WHO: Peter Zaitsev, co-founder and chief executive officer of Percona, and Brian O`Krafka,
vice president and fellow at Schooner Information Technology, Inc., a provider of data
access appliances for information-intensive Web 2.0 and cloud computing datacenters.
Zaitsev is an expert in MySQL performance optimization and scaling and has helped many
companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 with their performance and scaling problems
in various stages from architecture design to queries and schema optimization. O`Krafka
focuses on the performance analysis of clustered services for Internet datacenters, and
before joining Schooner, spent eight years at IBM and seven years at Sun working on
multiprocessor verification and performance analysis.

WHAT: Zaitsev and O`Krafka will present a technical Webinar addressing the challenges Web 2.0
and cloud computing datacenters face: inability to manage rapid data growth and complexity
coupled with skyrocketing power and space costs based on today's existing technology. The
Webinar will provide real-world strategies for leveraging technology advances in multi-core
processors, high-speed interconnect, flash memory and middleware software and effectively
scaling MySQL. Participants in the Webinar will learn how to:

* Accelerate MySQL Enterprise performance
* Scale MySQL Enterprise to handle growing data volumes
* Simplify integration projects
* Reduce or eliminate sharding
* Lower rack, power and pipe requirements
* Cut total cost of ownership by 60 percent

10:00 - 11:00 a.m. PDT / 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. EDT / 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. GMT

WHY: Today`s data-intensive Web 2.0 and cloud computing datacenters face soaring
costs and data growth. Even the latest advances in flash memory and multi-core
processors have failed to address these scaling challenges. Clearly a new approach
is needed. Join noted MySQL authority Peter Zaitsev and Schooner Information
