Case Study: AK Systems achieves faster, scalable clinical trial analytics with MySQL Database Service and HeatWave

AK Systems boosts query speed by several hundred times with MySQL

AK Systems, an IT service company, faced challenges with its clinical trial SaaS application as healthcare customers struggled with poor performance when running complex queries on massive, multi-terabyte datasets. Their on-premises infrastructure could not deliver the speed or scalability required, leading to long report wait times. To modernize their offering, they turned to vendor MySQL and implemented MySQL Database Service with HeatWave.

MySQL provided the solution by enabling AK Systems to move to the cloud. The implementation of MySQL Database Service with HeatWave accelerated query performance by several hundred times, allowing for the analysis of OLTP and analytical workloads on a single database without the need for ETL. This resulted in vastly improved search velocity, enhanced security, built-in high availability, and a cost-efficient pay-as-you-go model for their customers.
