MySQL is the world's most popular open source database software, with
over 100 million copies of its software downloaded or distributed
throughout it's history. With its superior speed, reliability, and ease
of use, MySQL has become the preferred choice for Web, Web 2.0, SaaS,
ISV, Telecom companies and forward-thinking corporate IT Managers
because it eliminates the major problems associated with downtime,
maintenance and administration for modern, online applications.
Many of the world's largest and fastest-growing organizations use
MySQL to save time and money powering their high-volume Web sites,
critical business systems, and packaged software — including industry
leaders such as Yahoo!, Alcatel-Lucent, Google, Nokia, YouTube,
Wikipedia, and Booking.com.
The flagship MySQL offering is MySQL Enterprise, a comprehensive set
of production-tested software, proactive monitoring tools, and premium
support services available in an affordable annual subscription.
MySQL is a key part of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP / Perl /
Python), the fast-growing open source enterprise software stack. More
and more companies are using LAMP as an alternative to expensive
proprietary software stacks because of its lower cost and freedom from
platform lock-in. |
