Featured Schooner Customers
"When we moved to our new datacenter, we urgently needed to replace the systems running our huge Basecamp MySQL database. Even running half the memory and from a standing cold start with no cache, Schooner was 300% faster than our old systems. Schooner's systems are ideal for our 'software as a service' web-based app workloads. We can handle several thousand read-focused queries per second at three times the speed of our old systems, and we're up and running quickly with no unexpected consulting costs."– Mark Imbriaco, Operations Manager, 37signals
Plaxo found the solution to its caching and NoSQL scalability problems by using Schooner on IBM x86 servers equipped with 6 cores and 512 GB of flash memory. Rather than having to spread 640GB of cache capacity across 10 traditional x86 servers, Plaxo found that each Schooner-powered x86 server was able to handle the entire capacity and workload. This resulted in a 10X reduction in rack space, power and cooling. Plaxo configured Schooner-powered servers in pairs for transparent replication and automatic failover, assuring service availability.– Ethan Erchinger, Director of Operations at Plaxo
"Our ad hoc MySQL queries run at least five times faster after installing SchoonerSQL. They deliver a huge performance benefit and are a breeze to install and manage."– Darryl Weatherspoon, VP of Engineering at Xoom

"Our data size has doubled in the last six months and Schooner has given us instant capacity and scalability that allowed us to cope with ease. We've had no unforeseen problems and had no hidden consultancy costs. With a little pre-configuration by Schooner it took us half a day to be fully up and running and replace our prior nine servers with a single Schooner system."

"In our business, website performance and efficiency is key to the success of our web properties. SchoonerSQL has significantly helped GuteFrage improve their overall website response time while at the same time allowing them to consolidate their database slaves onto a single Schooner-powered IBM x86 server, dramatically reducing the time necessary for database administration."– Frank Penning, CTO of Holzbrinck Digital
