Sun Gobbles Up Open Source Star MySQL

By Chris Keene at January 16, 2008 0 Comments

The open source feeding frenzy continues. Last year it was Redhat acquiring JBoss. This year it’s Sun acquiring MySQL. This is a strong validation for the open source business model, and gives Sun a new software platform for leadership in the enterprise.

MySQL has been strong in the web database market and is just now poking its nose into the enterprise. To do this, they have teamed up with WaveMaker for companies looking to replace their client/server tools like Oracle Forms, Lotus Notes, MS Access and PowerBuilder.

I wrote more about this in the Keeneview blog under MySQL and Marten Mickos: When Nice Guys Finish First.
