Sun Microsystems (which, by the way, is being purchased by Oracle) has announced MySQL Cluster 7.0, a new version of its open source database software for real-time, mission-critical applications.
New features include: enhanced performance and scalability; support for popular LDAP directories; and simplified cluster back-up and maintenance. Information on MySQL Cluster 7.0—including downloads, evaluation guides, and performance benchmarks – is available here.
Today’s announcement was made at the seventh annual MySQL Conference & Expo being held this week at the Santa Clara Convention Center. With more than 2,000 attendees, it’s the world’s largest community event for open source database developers, DBAs, vendors and corporate IT managers.
MySQL Cluster combines the open source database with a fault tolerant “shared nothing” architecture, enabling organizations to deploy real-time mission-critical database applications. It’s scheduled to be generally available this quarter under the GPL open source license for a range of operating systems, including Mac OS X, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SuSE Enterprise Linux Server, and Solaris 10.
