What is Lumen Relational Databases in the Cloud?
Lumen Relational Databases in the Cloud is a solution offered by Lumen Technologies for managing and provisioning databases on their Cloud platform. The product is designed to cater to small to large enterprises, and is targeted towards IT professionals, database administrators, software developers, e-commerce companies, and financial institutions. According to the vendor, Lumen provides a range of features to meet the diverse needs of businesses.
Key Features
Managed Database: According to the vendor, this feature offers certified engineers to manage enterprise and mission-critical database workloads. It includes Managed MySQL and Managed Microsoft SQL Server options, providing access to high-performance Percona MySQL Server or Microsoft SQL database. With proactive monitoring and database administration tasks handled by Lumen DBAs, the vendor claims it supports rapid software delivery and business needs.
Relational DB Service: The vendor states that this feature allows on-demand provisioning of database environments without the need for purchasing new hardware. It supports Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL-compatible databases, enabling seamless scaling for production and reconfiguration with higher availability and performance. The vendor claims that complete access anytime and custom configurable monitoring with alerts sent to the customer make it a convenient choice for businesses.
Database Engine: According to the vendor, Lumen offers a range of database engines to choose from. The Managed Database option includes MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server, while the Relational DB Service utilizes Percona MySQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server. This provides compatibility and flexibility for different application requirements.
Provisioning: The vendor states that the Managed Database feature auto deploys Managed VM and Managed MySQL Enterprise Edition or Microsoft SQL Server, simplifying the provisioning process. On the other hand, the Relational DB Service provides one-click deployment that returns a connection string for either MySQL-compatible or MSSQL database, making it quick and hassle-free.
Tenancy: According to the vendor, the Managed Database offers a dedicated virtual machine (VM) on a multi-tenant public cloud, ensuring the security and performance of the database. The Relational DB Service, on the other hand, provides a service on a multi-tenant public cloud with database isolation at the VM level, aiming to strike a balance between isolation and resource efficiency.
Access: The vendor claims that the Managed Database grants full access to the underlying VM and operating system, providing control and flexibility. In contrast, the Relational DB Service does not provide access or visibility to the underlying VM and OS, aiming to create a more streamlined and secure environment.
Monitoring: According to the vendor, the Managed Database comes with comprehensive proactive monitoring, where alerts are sent to the Lumen Operations center for prompt response and resolution. With the Relational DB Service, customers have the advantage of custom configurable monitoring, as alerts are sent directly to them for triage, allowing for greater control and visibility.
Configuration: The vendor states that Lumen DBAs handle database configuration, replication, monitoring, and backups in the Managed Database service, reducing administrative burden. In the Relational DB Service, configuration is automated within the service, simplifying the setup process.
Administration: According to the vendor, in the Managed Database, Lumen DBAs handle critical administration tasks such as backups, restores, log monitoring, start/stop/restart services, and patching. The Relational DB Service includes daily backups, DB configuration, replication configuration, auto-failover, and patching, with customers responsible for log monitoring, start/stop/restart service, and database administration using their preferred MySQL/MSSQL Client.
