MS SQL SERVER 2005 POWERS DATA DRIVEN
SITES
Case Study of Two Web Hosting Companies
The release of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on November 7th 2005
created a buzz around the office for IT professionals. The use
of SQL server by businesses as in an in house data server has
become increasingly more popular, this same popularity is now
beginning to shift to the web hosting industry.
With
the release of MS SQL 2005 Microsoft had this to say "Microsoft
SQL Server 2005 provides an integrated data management and
analysis platform that helps organizations reliably manage
mission-critical information and confidently run complex
business applications. With embedded reporting and data analysis
tools included with SQL Server 2005, companies can gain greater
insight from their business information." The norm for hosting
companies has forever been mySQL. mySQL is a free license
database server which has an easy to use php based interface
called phpmyadmin.
The difference in these two database
platforms has become more apparent since the release of MS SQL
2005. We will look at two website hosting companies one of which
offers only mySQL on a windows server (http://www.6squared.com)
and one which offers both a mySQL and MS SQL 2005 database to
its customers (http://www.fivecubed.com)
It is very
difficult to make a performance comparison between SQL Server
2005 and MySQL version 4.1. The performance of your databases
depends upon the experience of the database developers and
database administrator rather than the database's provider. You
can use both of these RDBMS to build stable and efficient
systems. It is also possible to define typical transactions used
in inventory control systems such as airline reservation systems
and banking systems. After defining these typical transactions,
it is possible to run them under the different database
management systems working with different hardware and software
platforms.
The comparison aspect being looked at here
is how the two web
hosting companies sell their hosting packages
and which company in turn produced a greater number of sales
based on its database offerings. Fivecubed.com who offers MSSQL
anteed up a large amount of money to host MSSQL for its
customers in the hopes that more customers would use the service
solely for the MSSQL. The break-even point for Fivecubed.com was
$8,000 because they purchased the MSSQL 2005 standard edition
processor specific. This puts 6squared.com at a huge advantage
over fivecubed.com.
Both companies offer hosting for
all price levels and incorporate a large array of features,
which puts them on a somewhat even playing field if marketing is
ignored. Fivecubed.com and 6squared.com were studied over a
period of 1 month. The results of their sales from the period
beginning November 7th, and Ending December 7th were as follows:
Fivecubed.com had new sales of only database additions (not
including hosting packages without database access) totaling 189
sales which translates into $2,632. The databases are sold based
on two criteria size and quantity. 6squared.com offered its
databases free during this one-month period and generated no
additional revenue from database sales. This puts 6squared.com
ahead of fivecubed.com by $5,368 at the end of one month by not
purchasing MS SQL server.
Now for a projection of sales
by fivecubed.com's finance department. They determined a growth
rate of 10% per month for the next 24 months. At the end of this
time the total number of databases sold will equal 1,692.36,
which translates into $13,538.88. As long as these forecasts
hold fivecubed.com will reach its break even point by the 18h
month and will turn a profit on the 19th month.
The
demand for MSSQL shown in the first month that fivecubed.com
implemented it was enough to create a profit after only 18
months.
