neckermann.de Achieves Cost-Effective Database Scalability With MySQL Cluster
Overview neckermann.de GmbH is the 3rd largest mail order company in Germany. neckermann.de launched their e-commerce shopping site in 1995 and was one of the first companies in Germany selling products and services online. neckermann.de originally deployed their web site on high cost Symmetrical Multi-Processing (SMP) hardware and proprietary database software. However, as a result of the exponential growth in online shoppers, neckermann. de was running out of capacity using their existing solution. With the Christmas 2005 shopping season approaching, neckermann.de was forced to find a more cost-effective way to add performance, scalability and reliability to their site to accommodate their traffic growth. After evaluating multiple alternatives, neckermann.de migrated their session management architecture off high-cost hardware and proprietary database software to a scaled-out MySQL Cluster architecture running on commodity hardware.
