Percona Software News and Roadmap Update with CEO Peter Zaitsev: Q1 2017

Percona Software News and Roadmap Update

This blog post is a summary of the webinar Percona Software News and Roadmap Update – Q1 2017 given by Peter Zaitsev on January 12, 2017.

Over the last few months, I’ve had the opportunity to meet and talk with many of Percona’s customers. I love these meetings, and I always get a bunch of questions about what we’re doing, what our plans are and what releases are coming.

I’m pleased to say there is a great deal going on at Percona, and I thought giving a quick talk about our current software and services, along with our plans, would provide a simple reference for many of these questions.

A full recording of this webinar, along with the presentation slide deck, can be found here.

Percona Solutions and Services

Let me start by laying out Percona’s company purpose:

To champion unbiased open source database solutions.

What does this mean? It means that we write software to offer you better solutions, and we use the best of what software and technology exist in the open source community.

Percona stands by a set of principles that we feel define us as a company, and are a promise to our customers:

  • 100% free and open source software
  • Focused on finding solution to maximize your success
  • Open source database strategy consulting and implementation
  • No vendor lock-in required

We offer trusted and unbiased expert solutions, support and resource in a broad software ecosystem, including:

We also have specialization options for PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS solutions like Amazon Web Services, OpenStack, Google Cloud Platform, OpenShift, Ceph, Docker and Kubernetes.

Percona’s immediate business focus includes building long-term partnership relationships through support and managed services.

The next few sections detail our current service offerings, with some outlook on our plans.

  • Percona XtraDB Cluster
  • MariaDB Galera Cluster
  • Galera Cluster for MySQL
  • Upcoming MySQL group replication
  • Upcoming MySQL Innodb Cluster

Enterprise Wide Support Agreements. Our new Enterprise Wide Support option allows you to buy per-environment support coverage that covers all of the servers in your environment, rather than on a per-server basis. This method of support can save you money, because it:
