Affordable Datacenter Transformation

Schooner software elegantly transforms your standard x86 servers into high-availability high-performance building blocks for your mission-critical applications.

  • SchoonerSQL™: Our flagship product is a full build of MySQL and its standard InnoDB storage engine, designed to vastly increase the reliability, scalability, peformance, and cost-effectiveness of MySQL.
  • Membrain™: Our high-performance software cache is the smart memcached, optimized for flash memory.

Annual Subscriptions

SchoonerSQL and Membrain are licensed by annual subscription (also called a Term License Agreement or TLA) for use on a wide range of supported x86 platforms. Annual subscriptions are offered for one or more years, paid up front, with a discount for pre-payment for multiple years.

Pricing

Schooner software efficiently exploits all available processor cores, storage, and network bandwith, achieving high utilization. Annual Subscriptions in quantity one in the United States and Canada are:

  • US$9,500 for SchoonerSQL, on any machine of up to two sockets regardless of the number of processor cores.
  • US$8,500 for Membrain, on any machine of up to 32 cores and up to 1.2 terabytes of flash memory.

Subscriptions for larger servers (more sockets with SchoonerSQL and more cores or flash memory with Membrain) cost more because your annual savings are larger. Please contact Schooner sales for a quote on your specific configurations. Substantial discounts apply to more comprehensive subscriptions. Schooner is happy to discuss project-, site-, and enterprise-wide licenses.

What You Get with an Annual Subscription

Each Schooner license comes with Schooner Customer Support Service during the subscription term. This includes:

  • All upgrades (including new functionality)
  • All patches and bug fixes
  • Unlimited web and telephone support on Schooner functionality
  • For SchoonerSQL, optional 24/7 deep MySQL support is available for an additional fee from Schooner partner SkySQL AB.

During your license term you may freely transfer Schooner licenses among supported server families (e.g., move from HP to Dell).
