Continuent has remained as the main solution for many Web 2.0 companies seeking to improve availability and scalability of their LAMP (with MySQL® and PostgreSQL) and LAMJ based applications. During 2006, Continuent demonstrated its entry in the enterprise world as many leading companies including CNET®, Moody’s®KMV NASDAQ®, The National Weather Service (NOOA) and Thales Group (UK) chose Continuent uni/cluster to address their database high-availability needs.
“Our market acceptance is a clear indication of the increased demand for open source databases in mission critical use and the overall positive effects of an open source economy,“ said Eero Teerikorpi, CEO of Continuent. “More and more companies are seeking cost effective alternatives for their database needs. Continuent uni/cluster solutions allow our customers to use MySQL and PostgreSQL with their critical applications, which earlier would have required more expensive commercial database solutions. Continuent is well positioned to continue our success in 2007 and beyond.“
Continuent’s main open source project, Sequoia (at www.continuent.org), has risen in popularity, being in top 200 out of 46,000 open source projects listed by freshmeat.org. During 2006, Sequoia’s vitality index peaked in top 10, which is clear indication of the strong market interest, community following and activity. Continuent has also significantly increased the third party contributions by our community members, especially in the area of database connectivity options.
Continuent is also increasingly hosting other open source projects, of which most notable is the Appia group communication solution, challenging the better, known JGroups.

I love sequoia (name c-jdbc early) from continuent, wish a great future.
Hi,
I am planning to use Sequoia. Is it easy to configure and fast? Will it improve the speed of my database applications?
