Cost-Effective Database Scale-Out Using MySQL

Cost-Effective Database Scale-Out Using MySQL

The current economic environment is forcing CIOs and IT Managers to focus on supporting key business requirements with less expensive IT infrastructure. Specifically, as more and more organizations rely on the Internet, they must be able to cost-effectively increase capacity of their infrastructure without sacrificing performance in order to grow their business.

For growing organizations, adding more infrastructure capacity using a proprietary solution requires large up front software and hardware investments. Many companies find that with a proprietary solution they will not be able to execute on their business plan because the cost of software alone is prohibitive.

MySQL enables organizations to eliminate the "database tax" associated with proprietary closed source software and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) enabling them to more readily accommodate growing demands for database capacity through scale-out. Scaling out (or Horizontal Scaling) means distributing the computing and data workload among multiple commodity servers by load balancing, with the ability to add or subtract servers to increase or decrease capacity. By distributing the workload, processing resources are spread among multiple low-cost servers, which improves both performance and the availability of the overall service at a dramatically lower cost.
