No matter how innovative, cutting-edge or pioneering an organization would like to be, eventually everything comes down to the bottom line. Sooner or later, someone in charge will ask about the costs – and how to reduce them.
For the IT team, this means reining in their operational expenses while still improving the performance of the organization’s infrastructure and keeping it as scalable and reliable as possible.
One way to achieve this is to migrate from costly, proprietary database systems to open-source alternatives.
Why migrate to MySQL?
MySQL is a popular open-source relational database management system that uses Structured Query Language (SQL) to manage and organize data. It is widely used for web applications, as it’s easy to use and supports a range of data types and operations to help developers store, retrieve and manipulate data.
This is especially important for GenAI, for which well-structured, well-managed data is crucial. GenAI models have to be trained on accurate, relevant and high-quality data to deliver reliable, unbiased outputs that will make a difference in the lives of your employees.
How MySQL helps you save
As an open-source database, MySQL eliminates the licensing costs that come with commercial databases. You can deploy it at a fraction of the cost, without compromising on system performance. And, because it uses resources efficiently, you can run the same workloads on lower-cost hardware.
You can minimize support costs, too, if you team up with a service provider that offers proactive monitoring and support.
Other key benefits include:
- Scalability: Being able to seamlessly expand your database resources without incurring significant costs will help your organization adapt quickly to business growth and market changes.
- Performance: Advanced features, including powerful storage engines, support high-speed transactions and data warehousing. Faster data retrieval improves the performance of critical applications and reduces query processing time.
- Strong security: MySQL has comprehensive security features that protect your data, including encryption, user authentication and access controls. This is especially helpful for industries with strict regulatory requirements, such as finance and healthcare.
- Community and support: An active open-source community is always finding ways of improving MySQL, and enterprise support is available for critical environments.
From assessment to migration: the NTT DATA approach
Drawing on years of experience in database management, our certified MySQL specialists and experienced data architects follow a phased approach to avoid disrupting your business operations.
We begin with a detailed assessment of your database environment to identify which applications and workloads are compatible with MySQL and to estimate the cost savings from a migration.
MySQL provides multiple storage engines, each with unique abilities. We choose the right engine for your architecture, with features that match your workload requirements.
Next, we migrate your data by using automated tools and scripts to convert it from proprietary formats to MySQL-compatible formats. This is followed by robust testing to validate all your applications and queries against MySQL to ensure no functionality is lost.
Because the migration process often includes data consolidation and reorganization, it also leaves you with cleaner, more accessible data. Improved data visibility supports better decision-making and operational insights.
During the migration, our team reconfigures your applications to use MySQL as the primary database. This includes modifying SQL queries if needed and configuring the application layer to take full advantage of MySQL’s features.
After the migration, your new MySQL environment is deployed into production. We track performance to make sure it’s a seamless transition and offer ongoing support as well as proactive tuning and management.
Make data migration your next step
Migrating to an affordable, reliable database is a strategic step. It leaves you free to focus on using your data for strategic insights and to support innovation and growth instead of worrying about system failures or high fees.
Partner with us and take advantage of the strengths of MySQL to advance your business while reducing your IT spending.
