Virgin Mobile Implements MySQL Enterprise
Paris (PRWEB) January 10, 2008 -- Virgin Mobile, a leading Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), has implemented a MySQL Enterprise (http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/)Platinum subscription to manage its data using the world's most popular open source database.
The mobile phone operator has become very popular thanks to a particularly attractive offer: unlimited outgoing SMS text messages towards all operators, for an unlimited time.
In terms of mobile applications, SMS remains the most commonly used medium. The considerable storage and processing requirements for SMS require a highly available database management system. Over 500 gigabytes are contained in MySQL data tables, and subject to thousands of queries per second. This solution handles the processing of Virgin Mobile's SMS messaging -- where each individual text message can generate over a hundred database queries on average (analysis, processing the response, and annual statistics).
All applications have been developed internally at Virgin Mobile, based on a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python) platform. This ensures the operator a significant return on investment compared with a proprietary system. Virgin Mobile has designed a highly-available MySQL-based platform that has proven to be highly scalable, particularly at peak times. This service is at the heart of all SMS/mobile applications -- but also operates the CRM applications, the billing and the management of Virgin Mobile orders.
Bearing in mind the critical nature of the data, the MySQL Enterprise Platinum offering subscribed by the operator includes enterprise class database software, monitoring tools and production support. With this premium service, the response of a MySQL support expert is guaranteed in less than 30 minutes, 24x7, 365 days a year.
"The phenomenal growth in the number of subscribers to mobile phone services has led telecom operators and equipment manufacturers to develop new modern infrastructures to meet their customers' needs," declares Joe Morrissey, MySQL's senior director of worldwide telecom sales. "MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition and MySQL Enterprise are now at the heart of the solutions implemented by the leading industry players. We are delighted about this additional endorsement by Virgin Mobile."

How To Use MySQL In A Hosting Environment
MySQL is a heavy-duty database server. Used with various software languages, most notably PHP, and part of the LAMP family (which is comprised of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP), Whether it's a customer relations management list or medical records, any data you have that needs storing, is stored on a database. You will need a database management system to add, access, edit, and process data in your databases, and MySQL is one of the best and most comprehensive packages on the market. MySQL can also be used as a relational database management system, which means it can store data in various tables that can communicate with one another rather than all in one large "storeroom" of data.

MySQL Backup Software Secure Your Data
Having a website driven by MySQL database without making regular backups is courting disaster. Over the course of time the database grows larger, accumulates more records. Now just try and imagine typing in your website address in the browser only to find that it is gone forever or needs fixing due to errors. How would that make you feel? If you find yourself feeling sick just thinking about it, then why set yourself up for a fall when you can so easily make a backup of the database and sleep well at night?
