MySQL Enterprise Helps the University of Kent Ensure Reliability of Mission-Critical Systems

England’s University of Kent is a long-time user of Sun Microsystems products. It operates well over a hundred servers on its main campus in Canterbury. Throughout the Information Services department (IS), various groups have successfully used Sun’s MySQL database, a free downloadable version of the open-source database. “We like MySQL – it does the job, we know it, and we know what we can do with it,” says Michael Wilcox, head of Web development and support services in the Information Services department at the University of Kent. The University’s Web site runs on the Apache Web Server and uses the PHP scripting language with MySQL as its database, all on Sun servers running the Solaris Operating System. This combination is sometimes referred to as the SAMP stack – short for Solaris/Apache/MySQL/PHP – and is similar to the Linux-based LAMP stack.
