MySQL 5.6 Solutions from Percona

Get the Most from MySQL 5.6 with Percona

MySQL 5.6 was declared production-ready in February 2013. The eagerly awaited MySQL 5.6 release provides new features which make MySQL even more powerful and easy to manage. Percona is ready to help you take advantage of the improvements and new functionality in MySQL 5.6, the latest version of the world's most popular database solution.

MySQL 5.6 Services from Percona Can Help

In addition to MySQL 5.6, our MySQL Consulting, MySQL Support, MySQL Server Development, and MySQL Remote DBA teams fully support Percona Server, Percona XtraDB Cluster, MariaDB, Amazon RDS for MySQL, Drizzle, and MySQL 5.1 and 5.5:

• Our MySQL Consulting Team can audit your current system; assess how to re-architect, develop, and tune your application to take advantage of the latest MySQL 5.6 features; create an in-depth upgrade plan; and, help design and deploy new applications to bring new benefits to your end users. 
• Our MySQL Support Team can support your MySQL 5.6 deployment with 24x7 online and phone-based availability. Gold and Platinum support services also include custom bug fixes to resolve MySQL 5.6 issues more quickly than through the standard MySQL bug resolution system.
• Our MySQL Server Development Team can help you with code level issues such as compatibility, porting plugins or other custom code from previous MySQL versions, and other issues.
• Our MySQL Remote DBA Team can monitor, maintain, and fine tune your MySQL 5.6 test and production environments and resolve any performance issues that arise.
• Our MySQL Training Team offers an intensive, two-day workshop called "Moving to MySQL 5.6," which is offered in cities throughout the world, as well as on a customized and/or onsite basis. 

Percona Open Source Software Integration with MySQL 5.6

Several of our open source software projects already support and are compatible with MySQL 5.6. Others will be in the next few weeks:

• Percona Toolkit 
• Percona Monitoring Plugins
• Percona Xtrabackup
• Percona Server 5.6 is coming soon, a drop-in alternative to MySQL.
• Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6, a high availability alternative for MySQL, is coming soon.

The Percona Server 5.6 release will contain all MySQL 5.6 features as well as Percona additions and optimizations. MySQL 5.6 rolls many improvements which previously existed only in Percona Server into MySQL 5.6 mainline which means we will have less code to maintain and can focus on more valuable features and optimizations.
