We recently published a case
study describing how central banks worldwide rely on the Bank of Finland's
MySQL based simulator.
The Bank
of Finland (BoF) acts as Finland's central bank, national monetary authority,
and member of the European System of Central Banks and the Eurosystem.
The BoF developed a MySQL based versatile system for
making payments and settlement simulations, used for analyzing liquidity needs, risk issues, changes in authority
policies & regulations, and more. Running
on Windows, the application has been widely adopted by central bank economists
worldwide.
The
Simulator is managing large data sets and thus needed a robust database as its
foundation. Key requirements to select the database included:
·
Low Costs
·
Performance & Scalability
·
Ease of Use
You can read more about why the
Bank of Finland selected MySQL to power its economic simulator in our case
study, posted here.
