Recognized for high performance and greater flexibility

MariaDB plc (NYSE:MRDB), a new cloud database company, today announced that its distributed SQL database, Xpand, was named the winner of a Gold Stevie^® in the Customer Data Platform category in The 21st Annual American Business Awards^®.

Businesses face unpredictable situations more and more these days - with unprecedented demand, for example, impacted ticket sales or airline flights. Distributed SQL databases enable businesses to handle the unexpected. Xpand is MariaDB’s distributed SQL database that is built for high availability and scale. Its resilience means no outages from node or zone failures and zero data loss. It delivers the performance businesses’ need, supporting millions of users and tens of billions of database transactions daily. It also brings leading efficiency and cost – saving up to 90% of legacy database costs and up to 40% of Amazon Aurora costs.

"In a world of uncertainty, people want something they can depend on. This is what MariaDB Xpand is all about. It is the database that powers large-scale mission-critical applications – whether it’s a crypto trading platform running in a major financial institution, or a payment system performing 80,000 requests per second and servicing 1.1 billion Samsung customers,” said Gregory Dorman, SVP, distributed systems and analytics at MariaDB plc. “It’s reliable, dependable and highly scalable. The recognition from the Stevie Awards is a testament to Xpand's ability to make customers unstoppable in every situation.”

More than 3,700 nominations were submitted this year for consideration from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry. According to the panel of judges, MariaDB Xpand won gold in the Customer Data Platform category given its faster analytical SQL queries, high performance, and flexibility.

Over 230 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners. According to one judge, “with the macroeconomic situation, and given that all the companies are trying to save on infrastructure and OpEx costs, another impressive ROI that I found with MariaDB's product is that the cost incurred to run queries on an average is more than 300% less than CockroachDB. Overall, an impressive feature!”
