First of all, thanks for the mention! There is a full list of Tungsten features for availability, data protection, and performance scaling at http://www.continuent.com/solutions/key-features. Note that if you read the white paper carefully a couple of them like DRBD and parallel replication support have the helper verb "will" in front of them which means we are still implementing with release(s) expected over the remaining months of this year. Tungsten currently supports MySQL versions 5.0 and 5.1 with initial support for PostgreSQL due out in September. We are also working hard on Oracle. As for the open source vs. commercial--the simple answer is that most features in what our literature describes as the "Basic HA" category are also available in open source or will be shortly. I'll have a short blog article on that later in the month when we release a full cluster build in open source. Cheers, Robert Hi Curt!
