SkySQL and MariaDB produce hit record for Believe Digital

LONDON, ENGLAND: SkySQL, the trusted provider of open source database support, announced its latest customer, Believe Digital, the world's largest fully independent digital distributor.

Using SkySQL's expertise, Believe Digital was able to migrate its data from 4 million artists such as Depeche Mode and Nick Cave from MySQL to MariaDB.

Believe Digital needed a fast and reliable data storage system to handle its integration with hundreds of distributed platforms such as Amazon, Dailymotion, iTunes and Spotify generating over ten million royalty injections per month.

Prior to the move to MariaDB, Believe Digital had more than ten database management servers spread over individual clusters and new platform integrations presented new challenges. The technical team at Believe Digital knew its resources would not cope with volume of work needed to update so they sought external advice.
