Microsoft Research - Scalable Servers
Microsoft is exploring techniques to build large servers as arrays of commodity processors, disks, and interconnects - Scalable Networks and Platforms (SNAP). The resulting computer cluster should be as easy to program, manage, and use as a single system. In addition, by using spare modules and redundant storage, the cluster should mask component failures and so provide highly-available services. This work combines the expertise of the NTclusters group to help define the requirements for clusters and the SQLserver database team to add fault-tolerance, scalability, and parallelism to SQLserver.
Terra-server™
A one-node terabyte geo-spatial database server (the Terra-Sever™ ), and a 45-node cluster doing a billion transactions per day. There were also SAP + SQL + NT-Cluster failover demos, a 50 GB mail store, a 50k user POP3 mail server, a 100 million-hits-per-day web server, and 64-bit addressing SQL Server were also shown. The TerraServer started as a joint research project between Aerial Images, Inc., Microsoft, the USGS, and Compaq. The TerraServer concept grew out of the convergence of two needs. Aerial Images, Inc. wanted to sell imagery online and Microsoft Research needed a large database to demonstrate the capabilities of its new database software.

My SQL - Open Source Relational Database
MySQL is the world's most popular Open Source Database, designed for speed, power and precision in mission critical, heavy load use. MySQL AB is the company that develops, supports, and markets the MySQL database server globally. Their mission is to make superior data management available and affordable for all, and to contribute to building the mission-critical high-volume systems and products of tomorrow. The product is available at zero cost under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and it is sold under a commercial license to those who do not wish to be bound by the terms of the GPL. The unique separation of the core server from the table handler makes it possible to run MySQL under strict transaction control or with ultrafast, transactionless disk access, whichever is most appropriate for the situation.
