ISVs' and OEMs' business success is largely determined by their products' ability to perform as promised, at a price that is both competitive in the market and profitable for the company. MySQL Server enjoys the rare distinction of being both full-featured and low-cost, which is why over 2000 ISV, OEMs and VARs entrust their products' and business success to MySQL as their products' embedded database. In addition, MySQL is the world's most popular open source database, now backed by the world's largest database company.
Using MySQL in Windows Applications
ISVs, OEMs and VARs can rely on MySQL Server to
- Reduce COGS and Improve Profitability by using a database with features designed to keep products’ costs low throughout their lifecycle, allowing vendors to offer their products at a fraction of the cost of competing solutions. MySQL’s low total cost also provides vendors the margin and pricing flexibility to appeal to Small and Medium Business (SMBs), and to compete in high-volume, low-margin markets.
- Win and Keep Customers by using a SQL-compliant, relational database with superior performance and reliability to meet the needs of even the most demanding applications, such as Telco and Network management, 24x7. In addition, by using MySQL in their products from the start, vendors can more easily add more sophisticated capabilities over time and they can keep pace with their customers' data growth, avoiding the difficult and expensive task of migrating their products and customers to another database.
- Bring Products to Market Faster by embedding a proven database rather than building and maintaining a database in-house, or spending time on difficult integration and tuning.
- Appeal to multiple markets using a database that supports 20+ platforms, giving vendors the freedom to ship products on a wide range of hardware and operating system combinations. In addition, MySQL provides the cost-efficiency and ease-of-use small business require, and it has the reliability, scalability and high performance to meet the requirements of some of the world’s largest web properties and mission-critical applications.
- Deliver a Zero Administration solution so customers don't have to hire dedicated DBA resources, and the vendor isn’t burdened with costly database-related support calls.

- "Transaction speed was the most important factor for us in choosing MySQL. Our agents analyze 3000 transactions per second on average and at least three times that during business hours. We needed MySQL's extremely low overhead to achieve that performance. Many of the other databases don't even have this embedded option."
