Case Study: Ixaris achieves 15-minute MySQL downtime with Pythian

Ixaris Grows Company with Pythian’s Expert Data Infrastructure Support

Ixaris, a financial services company handling over $15 million in monthly transactions, needed dedicated support to monitor and manage its growing MySQL database after its in-house DBA left. To avoid hiring multiple resources, Ixaris turned to Pythian for database administration expertise, 24x7 monitoring, and emergency support.

Pythian implemented replication setups, MySQL version updates, query optimization, backup procedures, and release-script support to improve scalability, reliability, and performance. The result was a major reduction in application downtime from 4–6 hours to just 15 minutes per update, while also increasing the availability of Ixaris’ MySQL environment.
