Sun's R & D of new MySQL solutions is a major challenge for customers in terms of performance, virtualization, multi-layer deployment, rich media storage, and backup in the x86 architecture, it also reduces the cost of power consumption and space occupation. The combination of MySQL and Sun systems, software, and various services enables customers to grow at every stage of the Web service lifecycle, using x64 (including x86 and 64-bit) or a system in the iSCSI architecture. You can choose to run Solaris OS, OpenSolaris, Linux or Windows.

"Sun's leadership in the open-source database software field, combined with our innovative system technology, brings customers lower costs, better usability, advanced scalability, and many other advantages, "Lisa Sieker, vice president of marketing at Sun's System Department, said," No other vendor can offer so many advantages under one brand, in addition, you can choose from multiple operating systems, such as Solaris, OpenSolaris, Linux, or Windows."

Today, the Sun system product for MySQL is released in the following environments:

High Performance on x86: enhances the economics of Web Services. Sun products for MySQL under the x86 architecture include: MySQL Enterprise Gold (Enterprise Gold Medal) Orders, including Sun Fire x64 servers, open storage, and comprehensive services, there is also a risk-free trial project that allows users to create a complete solution based on Sun's open-source software. According to the data published in the benchmark performance test of SPECjAppServer2004, Sun's open-source software combined with Sun Fire X4150 servers has created the current best cost-effective score. This result results in the sale of the best performance solution by 1/53 of the original cost, showing that its cost-effectiveness is 13 times that of HP and Dell patented products (see note 1, it provides detailed information about product prices and product comparison with other vendors ). In addition, pre-tests show that in the future, customers will be able to enjoy the advantages of the latest innovations in memory, such as SSD SSDs, supporting up to 7.5 times the number of transactions, the response speed for MySQL load is 60 times faster than that for traditional disk storage, and the power consumption is only 3 watts.

Virtualization: not only can scale, but also breaks through the limits of power, cooling costs and space occupation. Sun Systems for MySQL for virtualization includes Sun CoolThreads (CoolThreads) system running the Solaris operating system and Open Storage (Open Storage) technology, mySQL-based Web services can be integrated and expanded to achieve better economic and cost-effectiveness in large-scale applications. With the cool thread server, many companies have achieved 5 times the MySQL processing capability, reducing power consumption and space consumption costs by 1/4, and improving the cost-effectiveness by up to 10 times. As an instance of near-linear vertical scaling, The SugarCRM application runs MySQL on Solaris OS very successfully. The logical domain (LDOMs) is configured using the standard benchmark performance test suite provided by Sugar) based on the cool thread technology, the Sun iSCSI Enterprise Server can support 3,200 SugarCRM 4-way users, 1,600 SugarCRM 2-way users, and 900 SugarCRM single-way users, allow customers to select the best and complete open-source solutions to suit their needs.

Multi-layer deployment: Provides simple and predictable scaling support for large-scale users and data volumes. Sun Systems for MySQL is a set of code samples and published best practices-including pre-optimized and pre-integrated AMP-stack software components, and several samples of Web 2.0 applications.

Rich media storage: provides value-added services for users to cope with the explosion of massive data volumes and unstructured data. For Sun Systems for MySQL of rich media storage, MySQL is combined with Sun Fire X4540 storage server, JBODs, OpenSolaris, and Solaris ZFS, this allows customers to store their rich media data on an integrated platform, providing three times the storage density of similar products of friends and sellers, and reducing the cost by half.

Backup: The value-added Management of massive data, and the backup window can be reduced continuously. For the backed up Sun Systems for MySQL, the Sun Fire X4540 server and Zmanda reanda Manager are provided to restore the backup and MySQL applications. Customers who have deployed this solution can save 15% of the cost and twice the storage density compared with similar products of HP. Compared with similar products of Dell, this solution can save 10% of the cost, three times the storage density is obtained. Compared with other similar products, the customer can save 40 ~ 70% of power consumption and cooling costs.

Customers who have deployed these Sun system solutions for MySQL have seen great advantages and saved considerable power consumption costs. For example, DigiTar uses a virtualized Sun Systems for MySQL solution to reduce power consumption by 83% and increase the cost performance by 10 times. Other Sun customers who have deployed the Sun system running MySQL include 6.cn, Fotolog, Last. fm, and LinkedIn.

"We use the Sun Fire X4250 server to run the MySQL database. This combination is used because there are no other servers available on the market and the storage density of 16 internal disks can be provided in the 2U system, "Last. mike Brodbelt, director of the technology operations and basic operations department of fm, said, "If you use products from other vendors to do the same job, more power will be consumed."
