More MySQL Success Stories

Everything we do — every product feature we add and every optimization — comes from listening to our customers and trying to figure out what they're really trying to tell us. So it's refreshing to talk to a company like Sun that seems to be doing some of those same things. When I have a request or a complaint or a compliment, somebody at Sun is listening to me.

Lab Test: Sun's X4150 Shows the Beef
InfoWorld, May 23, 2008
“The sql-bench tests were run on identical MySQL 5.0.22 database servers. The X4150 took just under 12 minutes less to conduct the full range of tests when compared to the Dell 2950—just 678 seconds compared to 1,394 seconds for the Dell... Thus, the X4150 immediately proved its worth in database applications.”
