Open Databases White Paper: MySQL Provides Scalability, Reliability & Enterprise Support at a Lower Cost

Enterprises are looking for the best, most cost-effective way to manage the ever-increasing amount of data, an ever-growing pool of users, and unrelenting demands for high availability. Database administrators must ensure their database system can handle this level of growth with limited downtime—and without a high cost. As proprietary database systems have grown increasingly complex with features that many companies don’t need, they have also become harder to manage and more expensive in terms of upgrades and staffing, training, and support. The Sun MySQL™ database delivers the scalability and features that companies need but with less complexity and lower costs than proprietary systems. The world’s widely used open-source database, MySQL has more than 12 million installations.
