Today's innovative companies rely on MySQL Enterprise to deliver online business applications to corporate end users.  The benefits: cost-savings, rapid development and deployment, on-demand scalability, and risk mitigation. Will your Enterprise be able to compete without it?

Enterprise 2.0

MySQL defines Enterprise 2.0 as modern organizations implementing Web 2.0 technologies, architectures, and delivery models to offer browser-based, data-driven online applications to their business users. These applications are being developed using popular Web 2.0 technologies including Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP), plus modern frameworks, like AJAX and Ruby on Rails.

Existing enterprise client-server applications developed using proprietary technologies are expensive, take a long time to implement and are difficult to maintain. On the other hand, the LAMP stack has become the defacto standard that powers the fastest growing most scalable applications in the world including those from Google, Yahoo and Facebook. Enterprises are beginning to deliver business-critical applications using modern Web technologies to benefit from:

• Cost Savings - MySQL is proven reduce database TCO by 90%, saving organizations like Sabre Holdings millions of dollars.
• Rapid Development and Deployment Cycles - MySQL is an easy to use database and can reduce the time to implement new applications from months to weeks or days.
• On Demand Scalability - MySQL enables organizations to cost-effectively scale their applications incrementally vs. making huge up-front investments in software and hardware.
• Highly Availability - MySQL gives you multiple cost-effective open source high availability options, including MySQL Cluster or DRBD
• Mitigate Risks - MySQL gives you the flexibility to implement applications using multiple technologies, platforms and languages without locking you into a single vendor.
• Enterprise Class Service - MySQL technical expertise backed by Sun's global 24x7, enterprise-class support services provides the resources necessary to support today's most demanding Enterprises.
