Why MySQL?
MySQL is the world's most popular open source database, due in no small part to its amazingly fast performance,
high reliability and ease of use. Used by many of the world's largest organizations, MySQL saves you time and money
powering high-volume Web sites, business-critical systems and packaged software. MySQL is the database of choice for
a new generation of applications built on the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP / Perl / Python.)
The below information is excerpted from the MySQL AB Web site. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for a typical
medium-size business is shown with the pricing differences between the most common database systems. Looking at the
numbers, it becomes obvious why so many companies are moving to MySQL! And with the features of the latest releases,
MySQL is poised to go head on with the database power-houses of the last few years!
If you are not currently employing MySQL to save money, perhaps you should be. Take a look at the numbers
below and consider Valcora Database Migration Services from
