CUPERTINO, Calif. -- MySQL AB, developer of the world’s most popular open source database, today announced that Tellme Networks, Inc ® is benefiting from significantly reduced database-related costs by using the open source MySQL® database. Tellme employs MySQL to power mission-critical enterprise and carrier applications on the world’s largest open platform for the phone.

"The MySQL server is a core technology in our distributed data cluster that handles over 2 terabytes of data per week," said Rick Levenson, senior vice president of Service Delivery at Tellme. “By using MySQL, we have been able to reduce our costs while maintaining high availability across our client applications."

Tellme powers voice-based phone searches used by more than 35 million people every month. It is the most popular mobile search service today. Like many fast-growing "Web 2.0" Internet businesses, Tellme's data load has scaled with the rapid growth in its traffic – from 500 million calls in 2004, to nearly 2 billion calls in 2006.
