Leading Online Advertising Firms Select Sun Microsystems' MySQL Database to Help Power Their Business : Gorilla Nation Media and Other Leading Vend
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Business Wire EON) August 13, 2008 -- MySQL(TM), the world's most popular open source database, is available for download at http://www.mysql.com.
"Leading online ad platforms such as Google, Gorilla Nation, ValueClick and Yahoo have all employed MySQL to help cost-effectively develop and sustain their data-intensive technology infrastructure," said Zack Urlocker, vice-president of products, Database Group, Sun Microsystems. "These blue-chip ad vendors highlight the innovation and business growth that is possible when powering today's Web economy."
Recognized by Deloitte Technology as one of the fastest 500 growing companies in America, Gorilla Nation exclusively handles media sales for more than 500 high traffic websites. The company opted to build a business intelligence platform on MySQL that manages more than one terabyte of data and provides vital real-time traffic and advertising campaign performance information. This data is then used to help advertisers determine how to reach a specific age and income demographic and best spend their advertising budget. Gorilla Nation also relies on MySQL to capture all transactions and clickstream data required for invoicing and billing.
"Gorilla Nation has experienced huge growth in recent years and subsequently we needed strong database technology that we could operate quickly and efficiently without paying the huge upfront licensing costs required by proprietary software," said Alex Godelman, VP, Technology, Gorilla Nation. "MySQL Enterprise has delivered outstanding performance -- allowing us to scale efficiently as more and more publishers and advertisers have begun to use our service."
Gorilla Nation selected MySQL Enterprise to provide full support for its critical database applications. MySQL Enterprise is a comprehensive subscription, consisting of production-tested software, proactive monitoring tools, and premium support services.
