Hyperic Announces MySQL Performance Study Results
First Enterprise Application to Prove MySQL Supports Immense Scale
JAVAONE?San Francisco, Calif. - News Release:
- Today at JavaOne, Hyperic (Booth #1028), announced the results of a large scale performance study on Hyperic using Sun Microsystems? MySQL database as a backend.
- Results showed Hyperic monitoring upwards of 2.3 million metric transactions per minute.
- These results definitively prove that MySQL and Hyperic can be a compelling option for even the most demanding enterprise and web applications.
- Hyperic customer CNET was part of large-scale beta testing of MySQL on Hyperic.
About the tests:
- The tests simulated a large-scale deployment monitoring 32,000 services across 675 discreet managed platforms.
- There were two primary tests?designed to determine the actual and maximum loads amount of metrics per minute that Hyperic is capable of running on MySQL.
- In the Actual Load test, Hyperic HQ averaged 220,000 metrics per minute, with minimal server load for either Hyperic HQ or MySQL.
- In the Maximum Load test, Hyperic HQ achieved a record 2.3 million metrics per minute, with constraints on the Hyperic Server and only moderate load on MySQL.
- The test setup used standard hardware that would typically be used to run Hyperic HQ with MySQL
- The Hyperic HQ Server ran on a 2 Quad Core, 2GHz machine with 16 GB of RAM, 4 GB of Heap and a NIC with a 1 GB interconnect between HQ and MySQL
- The MySQL Database Server ran on a 2 Quad Core, 1596 MHz machine with 8 GB of RAM, 4.5 GB InnoDB buffer pool, 16 thread concurrency, O_DSYNC flush method, and RAID-1 146G SAS 3G HardDrives
Supporting Quotes:
“For growing web-driven companies, scaling their web applications is critical to their business. Traffic is unpredictable and can grow exponentially. Operations teams must not only monitor every component of their application stack, but quickly respond if things go wrong. These performance results prove that the combination of Hyperic and MySQL is a good fit for companies that need a massively scalable web infrastructure.? — Paul Melmon, senior vice president of engineering at Hyperic
?MySQL has been designed and optimized to handle the fast-growth and high-traffic requirements of today?s modern online applications. As Hyperic is also targeting this same Web audience, there is a natural synergy between our products. MySQL and Hyperic address enterprise-level needs for performance, scalability, availability and reliability.? –Zack Urlocker, vice president of products, Sun Microsystems Database Group
“Support for MySQL has proven to be a major win for Hyperic customers by offering a scalable, enterprise class data store with the array of features they demand to handle reliable backup, archive, and disaster recovery of the highly valuable data Hyperic HQ captures. Since the official release in late January, we’ve had about a quarter of our Enterprise customers either migrate or express interest in migrating to MySQL as a database backend.” –Marty Messer, director of customer success at Hyperic
