Appliance for MySQL
"Kickfire is the best game in town when it comes to easy-to-deploy supercharged MySQL performance. Very cool."
– Matt Asay, The Open Road, CNET
Benefits in a Nutshell
Maybe no-one else has noticed, but your decision to use MySQL has already saved your company tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars in license costs and database administration time. But, as powerful and cost-effective as MySQL is for many of your applications, you know that its ability to scale to support high-volume data warehouses running complex queries is limited.
You've tried tuning the SQL syntax used in queries; you've tried sharding and disk striping; you've upgraded CPUs and RAM and you've configured increasingly complex master/slave systems but nothing seems to give you the predictable, scalable performance you need to keep pace with your data warehousing needs.
Now, you're under pressure from users and management to come up with recommendations on the way forward. Do you stick with MySQL; bite the bullet and move to a more traditional – and much more expensive - Windows server environment or do you look at an analytic appliance based solution?
Kickfire gives you the best of all of these options. And, unlike some appliance solutions that cost more than your entire existing infrastructure, Kickfire's pricing is only $32,000 for a production class appliance. Combining the industry's first SQL chip, which packs the power of tens of CPUs onto a single chip, and running an advanced column-store engine as a plug-in to MySQL Enterprise™, Kickfire delivers unheard of power to MySQL customers and provides the dedicated data warehousing option that you've been looking for.
Maybe no-one has noticed how much you and MySQL have saved the company so far, but Kickfire could change all that, and change it in a hurry.
