"MySQL Cluster database delivers carrier-grade levels of availability and performance with linear scalability on commodity hardware," said Jan Martens, Managing Director, Speech Design Carrier Systems GmbH.

Speech Design is using MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition as a key component of the THOR application platform. MySQL Cluster is responsible for core functions and services of the THOR Call Completion and Next Generation Messaging System. With the carrier grade availability and high throughput architecture, it helps to ensure time-critical operations for message transactions and notification events. The database also stores global service configurations and messaging rule sets, as well as logging all user activity via Call Detail Records. These CDRs allow accurate billing, revenue assurance and network/service statistics via the operators OSS/BSS (Operations Support Systems/Business Support Systems) infrastructure.

By selecting MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition for its commercial offering, Speech Design was able to:

• Improve developer productivity to accelerate time-to-market
• Achieve 99.999% carrier-grade availability with consistent millisecond response times
• Handle massive subscriber growth through dynamic scalability
• Provide redundancy across multiple sites through Geo-Replication

"Many of the communications industry's leading companies employ MySQL Cluster as a foundation to deliver carrier-grade services, delivering real time, low latency performance with 99.999% availability and linear scalability," said Rich Mason, vice president of Global MySQL Sales, Sun Microsystems.
