Replication enables data from one MySQL database server (called the master) to be replicated to one or more MySQL database servers (slaves). Replication is asynchronous - your replication slaves do not need to be connected permanently to receive updates from the master, which means that updates can occur over long-distance connections and even temporary solutions such as a dial-up service. Depending on the configuration, you can replicate all databases, selected databases, or even selected tables within a database. With the help of Replication we can assure the scalability of Data. Because once the Master server went off-line,the slave will act as the master and start serving data. The Data will be replicated into slave server in a frequent intervals. Replication in MySQL features support for one-way, asynchronous replication, in which one server acts as the master, while one or more other servers act as slaves
The mail advantages of MySQL Replication are as follows
1.Scale-out solutions
spreading the load among multiple slaves to improve performance. In this environment, all writes and updates must take place on the master server. Reads, however, may take place on one or more slaves. This model can improve the performance of writes (since the master is dedicated to updates), while dramatically increasing read speed across an increasing number of slaves.
2.Data security
Because data is replicated to the slave, and the slave can pause the replication process, it is possible to run backup services on the slave without corrupting the corresponding master data.
3.Analytics
Live data can be created on the master, while the analysis of the information can take place on the slave without affecting the performance of the master.
4.Long-distance data distribution
If a branch office would like to work with a copy of your main data, you can use replication to create a local copy of the data for their use without requiring permanent access to the master.
