ESPN Video Games: (Database Consulting / Web Development):
Database consultant: I was contacted to consult with ESPN video games when their single MySQL database server was crashing shortly after opened advance sales of a popular video game. Initial investigation showed that they were hosting several databases on their web server (sales, ad tracking, content and bulletin boards) and that by turning off some services of their website, sales could be re-continued until clustering could be put in place.
