Many software applications today implement the creation, manipulation, storage, search, and retrieval of data. These many applications usually employ a database to keep track of information. MySQL is an application that runs as a server. As a server, MySQL allows for multi-user access of several databases. An apparent example of this would be websites such as Google, YouTube, EBay, etc… Information created and utilized must be kept secure of failure. Without information security and reliability, data can easily be lost. Imagine if Google or EBay were run on a few servers not offering any redundancy; this could see catastrophic lost due to a single point of failure. To remedy this case, server redundancy can be implemented. The SQL Team for Computer Networks at the University of Houston College of Technology is attempting to demonstrate this via a project for database replication utilizing MySQL and Ubuntu.
