"Most important thing for us was the high-availability and the automatic fail-over features that were missing from the standard database features. With Continuent Tungsten, we can now truly say that our databases are clustered HA platforms. Daily database maintenance operations can be now done without causing long service breaks to the services. This is one BIG helping thing from DBA's point of view. Continuent Tungsten Smartscale out-of-the-box is a good concept that we utilize with our clusters. With new Continuent Tungsten support platform in use, we have got fairly quickly help to our problems, even during out-of-office times. This is how it should be and I hope this will stay like this in the future too."
