MySQL is the most popular open source database in the world. It’s frequently used to support Web 2.0 applications and cloud deployments.

However, scaling MySQL can be a challenge when workload demand starts to strain the database. To address this challenge, STEC benchmarked the performance of its s1120 PCIe Accelerator against six high-performance SAS drives under a MySQL workload.

This podcast presents the findings of those benchmark tests, and demonstrate how the STEC s1120 PCIe Accelerator dramatically increased MySQL performance in both scale-up and scale-out configurations. Listen now to learn how your organization can benefit from this simpler architecture for a longer period of time before having to consider scale-out options.
