Benefits of MySQL Carrier Grade Edition for Subscriber Databases

Ensure high Quality-of-Service That Users Expect

In the highly competitive Communications market, service providers are being forced to differentiate themselves by the quality of service they provide. MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition provides a fault- tolerant architecture with automated fail-over detection and resolution so that network equipment providers and communications service providers can deliver applications with five nines (99.999%) availability. MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition supports online schema upgrades, such as adding and removing tables or indexes, as well as changing table schemas themselves. These tasks are performed as normal operations on the active cluster, and do not require any rolling upgrade of the cluster. Such features are critical when CSPs seek to deploy new services, as these will usually require updates to the underlying data structures. MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition also supports online software upgrades, which are performed using rolling restarts.

Deliver a massively scalable SDP to Handle the Load of 100 Million Subscribers

Near linear scalability can be achieved using MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition’s shared nothing, distributed database architecture. Data and indexes are automatically partitioned across multiple data nodes and with user-defined partitioning data can be efficiently accessed on a single data node without the need for intercommunication within the cluster to satisfy a result set or look up.

Provide real-time services to Millions of End-user Devices

Delivering real-time services like messaging and mobile gaming is a key requirement for service providers. CSPs must find ways to maximize throughput, as well as minimize message latency to deliver on the promise of these new always-on, instantly accessible services. MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition was designed as an in-memory database to handle the 10,000’s of requests per second with a latency of just a few milliseconds
