MySQL Site Agreements Available for the Cost of a CPU of Oracle Enterprise

MySQL AB, a developer of open source database, has unveiled a simpler way for large and growing organisations to acquire and adopt enterprise software. Designed with a customer's perspective in mind, a one-year MySQL Enterprise Unlimited subscription offers an enterprise site agreement at USD 40,000, the company said in a statement.

"MySQL Enterprise has made it significantly easier to purchase database software and technical support for our entire organisation," said Glenn Bergeron, systems manager for Instaclick, one of the first companies to take advantage of MySQL Enterprise Unlimited. "This new offering is good for corporate IT organisations with a growing number of projects but a tightly-fixed budget."

According to the company, MySQL Enterprise subscription consists of:

• MySQL Enterprise Server Software
• MySQL Network Monitoring & Advisory Services
• Premier Enterprise-class Production Support
