Case Study: Alstom achieves robust, low-cost power plant monitoring with MySQL Embedded Server

Alstom Selects MySQL as a Database Standard for Power Plant Monitoring

Alstom, a global leader in power generation and rail infrastructure, needed a low-cost, robust relational database for its AMODIS® power-plant monitoring system to manage large volumes of configuration and non-scalar processed data (such as FFTs and images) produced during transient operation.

Alstom embedded MySQL Embedded Server in every AMODIS deployment; its small footprint, zero-administration model and reliable BLOB support handle high data loads, reduce costs and simplify worldwide rollout—delivering responsive monitoring and analysis without the need for dedicated DBA resources.
