Tokutek announced a strategic partnership with PalominoDB, a premier database operations and engineering consultancy, to provide database services and support to joint customers. Tokutek's storage engine will be complemented with PalominoDB's operational excellence, 24x7 on-call support and access to the company's skilled team of professional database administrators (DBAs).

"TokuDB has immeasurably improved our ability to react to changing business requirements in a large data environment. The ability to change schemas and indexes on the fly and no need to repair fragmented indexes has led to a simplification of our environment and reduced maintenance windows," said Adrian Roston, CTO, Frequency. "With PalominoDB's knowledge and expertise, we were rapidly able to leverage TokuDB's advantages and substantially improve our system's throughput."

TokuDB is a highly scalable, zero-maintenance downtime MySQL Storage Engine that delivers indexing-based query acceleration, improved replication performance, unparalleled compression, and hot schema modifications. Under the agreement, PalominoDB will provide end-to-end solutions and support for MySQL and MariaDB systems that run on the TokuDB storage engine.

"Tokutek's ability to improve database performance brings an entirely new value proposition to MySQL," said Laine Campbell, Owner and CEO at PalominoDB. "In partnering with Tokutek, PalominoDB is making a firm commitment to expanding MySQL's viability as an enterprise-class database capable of supporting complex queries with high data rates on terabyte-scale databases."

"PalominoDB brings unrivaled domain expertise and a range of service offerings to the MySQL and MariaDB market," said John Partridge, President and CEO of Tokutek. "Tokutek's partnership with PalominoDB will help TokuDB deployments go smoothly and provide access to extended support and design capabilities for customers needing those services."
