Case Study: Skybox Security achieves faster deployments and 80% lower database costs with Oracle MySQL Enterprise Edition

Skybox Security Grows Its Advanced Security Solution Leveraging Next-Generation Analytics

Skybox Security, a San Jose–based provider of advanced risk‑analytics and security‑management solutions used by more than 300 enterprises and government agencies, needed to speed customer deployments, cut administration costs, ensure scalability for heavy security workloads, streamline development, and protect profit margins without compromising performance.

By embedding MySQL Enterprise Edition into its platform, Skybox eliminated the need for customers to buy or manage a separate database, shortening time to go‑live and lowering total cost of ownership by about 80%. The small‑footprint, high‑performance, cross‑platform embedded database reduced support calls and development overhead, improved scalability and reliability for high‑volume environments, helped maximize margins with a competitive licensing model, and contributed to record financial performance and rapid customer growth.
