MySQL: Powering the Web

"The notion persists within many traditional enterprises that once you reach a certain
level of application importance, it is necessary to transition to big, expensive boxes
running big, expensive databases. However, free-thinking members of their IT staffs
are beginning to ask the question: 'What can we learn from Google, Yahoo, and
Wikipedia on how to scale for high growth?'"
Stephen O'Grady, Principal Analyst
Red Monk
Wikipedia relies upon MySQL replication to scale-out their database infrastructure
and accommodate more visitors, more articles and more contributors.

Suggesting that we could develop a synchronization server in a few
months that would rival the performance and reliability of MySQL, which
has been in development for nearly 20 years and is used by thousands of
companies around the world, would have been ridiculous. Furthermore,
none of our developers had experience developing high-performance,
robust server software. We were more than happy to trust this portion of
our software to open source developers.
Science Activity Planner (SAP) is the primary science downlink analysis and uplink planning tool for NASA’s Mars
Exploration Rover Mission.
During each sol (Martian day) of mission operations, scientists and engineers use SAP to visualize the data acquired
by the rover on previous sols and develop a plan of activities for the rover to accomplish on the next sol. Other
operations tools then refine the plan and transmit it to the spacecraft.
SAP uses MySQL to synchronize data between multiple
program instances and ensure HA

Millions of people every day visit the BBC News website for their daily fix
of world news and analysis. Stories from hundreds of dedicated
journalists in all time zones are constantly being fed to the site, which
currently attracts 35 million unique users and receives over 800 million
page impressions each month.
The BBC wanted a dynamic system, working in real time, which would give audiences a real sense of the news
stories on the website being picked up most by other users.
The challenge was to balance a demand for high performance with value for money on a limited budget. The BBC’s
solution was to develop the 'BBC News Live Stats' system in-house, supported by an open source software stack
consisting of Apache web servers, Linux as the operating system and the MySQL database for data management.
BBC News Website uses MySQL to Monitor Reader Interest

”Caspur relies on MySQL Enterprise because MySQL is the de-facto
industry-standard database used in Bioinformatics. The MySQL Query
Analyzer allows more effective monitoring and optimization of database
queries.”
Nico Sanna Senior Technology Manager Divisione HPC Chimica e Biologia
Computazionale Consorzio CASPUR
CASPUR is a non-profit inter-university consortium which was founded in 1992, based in Rome. It deals
with scientific supercomputing applications and innovative technologies.
CASPUR employs a MySQL Enterprise subscription that allows them to monitor
application reliability using MySQL Monitor, and improves query performance through
the MySQL Query

“MySQL represents a very reliable and strong foundation for a
computational analysis application like ours, and has been a key to its
success.”
Matti Hellqvist,
Bank of Finland
The Bank of Finland (BoF) acts as Finland's central bank, national monetary authority,
and member of the European System of Central Banks and the Eurosystem.
The BoF has developed a versatile Payment and Settlement System Simulator (BoFPSS2),
for making payments and settlement system simulations. The simulator can be
used for analyzing liquidity needs, risk issues, settlement algorithms as well as changes in
behavioral patterns, authority policies & regulations, settlement conventions and pricing
or costs issues. It is freely available for research purposes at http://pss.bof.fi.
The BoF selected MySQL as embedded database within its PSS2 product in
order to provide the turnkey, easy to use and powerful simulation application they were hoping other
central bank economists would also adopt.

”The Central Registry is an extremely mission critical application that
must never go down or face interruptions. Powering the Central Registry
with MySQL Enterprise helped us ensure that the system is reliable and
highly available while very performant and flexible.”
Jan Fridén
Medical Doctor, Sahlgrenska University Hospital
Sahlgrenska University Hospital (SU) provides emergency and basic care within the city of Göteborg with
700,000 inhabitants, as well as highly specialized care for the Västra Götaland county with 1.7 million
inhabitants.
Every year, Sahlgrenska University Hospital records two million referrals and comments through the
Central Registry system which is powered by MySQL. All in all, the Central Registry manages about 100
gigabytes of data with up to 2,000 concurrent users on a yearly basis.
The Central iRegistry (CR) s a Java-based system where referrals and comments
are registered - either illustrated by images, graphs or as plain text.

“Thanks in part to MySQL, we deliver a highly reliable and robust SaaS
solution to Fortune 100 companies at affordable prices that our
competitors can’t touch.”
Trevor Stansbury
President, Supply Dynamics
Supply Dynamics is a leading supply chain solution provider that is focused on material consolidation
solutions known as “Material Demand Aggregation.”
Supply Dynamics developed an innovative, SaaS solution that has the ability to seamlessly integrate with an
OEM customer’s existing ERP/MRP/Data Warehouse systems such as SAP R/3. This allows the OEM to get an
aggregate view into total raw material demand across its supply chain, encompassing a virtually unlimited
number of manufacturing sites and sub-tier suppliers.
Supply Dynamics relies on MySQL to cost effectively store tens of thousands of unique
multi-level Bill of Material records, synchronizing those in real-time with actual finished
part demand at the OEM.
