Case Study: NAVER improves database performance and cuts licensing costs with MySQL Enterprise Edition

Naver Corporation streamlines 10 subsidiaries and handles 100,000+ reads/sec with MySQL

Naver Corporation, Korea's largest search engine, faced challenges with inefficient and decentralized management of its MySQL database infrastructure across multiple subsidiaries. This led to higher maintenance costs, slower performance, and reduced productivity. To address this, Naver sought a solution from vendor MySQL to centralize management, reduce operational costs, and improve scalability for its critical online services.

MySQL provided its Enterprise Edition and a Universal License Agreement (ULA) as the solution. This allowed Naver to consolidate its licenses and use MySQL Enterprise Monitor for centralized management. The results included significant cost savings, improved database performance and scalability, and more efficient backup processes. The ULA also simplified regulatory compliance and provided access to MySQL's 24/7 technical support, ensuring a stable and reliable platform for development.
