Case Study: Plusnet Plc improves database visibility, performance, and scalability with MySQL Enterprise Edition

Plusnet Plc improves visibility across 155 database instances with MySQL

The British telecommunications provider Plusnet Plc was facing challenges in scaling its database infrastructure to support its rapidly growing customer base of over 1.5 million. They needed to improve efficiency, enhance monitoring capabilities, ensure reliable backups, and gain better technical support for their IT systems. To address these needs, Plusnet turned to vendor MySQL and upgraded from MySQL Community Edition to MySQL Enterprise Edition.

By implementing MySQL Enterprise Edition and the MySQL Enterprise Monitor, Plusnet gained real-time visibility across its entire database estate from a single dashboard, simplifying administration and enabling rapid problem detection. The solution from MySQL provided the necessary compatibility with third-party backup software and included 24/7 expert support. The results included improved scalability to support business growth, significant time savings for database administrators, and enhanced performance across their critical customer-facing applications.
