HP Announces Support For MySQL, JBoss

Posted by simoniker on from the i'm-not-the-boss-of-you dept.

Chroniton writes "According to InternetNews.com: 'HP stepped up its commitment to open source software Monday by pledging to offer and support the MySQL database server and JBoss application server software in its servers' - it's also mentioned: 'The deal is truly symbiotic. While MySQL and JBoss get backing from a technology driver such as HP, HP gets the added credibility of being cozy with open source, a label many enterprises and HP rivals, such as IBM and Dell, are working toward.'"

  1. Apple also supports it by damieng · · Score: 5, Informative

    If anybody's interested - both JBoss and MySQL ship as part of OS X Server (as well as a few other open-source products).

  2. Apple already does this by daveschroeder · · Score: 4, Informative

    Apple already ships MySQL and JBoss with Mac OS X Server, and supports basic use (e.g., enabling, basic use) via free support channels, or advanced support of any aspect via Mac OS X Server Software Support products.

  3. HP? by turgid · · Score: 4, Informative
    I can't understand why anyone would buy anything from HP when you can get exactly the same stuff from Dell at about 60% of the price. HP sales staff suck. They couldn't care less about your order. Dell will have you quoted up to your satisfation, and the stuff shipped to the right address withing 2-3 days. HP takes about 6 weeks, charges you more, gets your order wrong, blames you and then charges you more to put it right.

    I for one will not be buying from HP ever again, except maybe for laser printers...

    It figures an AC would say that: http://linux.dell.com/
    Just making a front on your website saying you support Linux doesn't make it so. I own a Dell Laptop, I've requested many times to have correct Linux drivers for my video card, Dell has not complied. If you had actually bothered to visit the Dell support forums for Linux you would have found a large group of unhappy and frustrated Linux users that had the misfortune of purchasing a Dell.
    Good Day.

    I'd like to respond to this without starting a PG vs MySQL flamewar.

    I'm well aware of many advantages that PostgreSQL offers over MySQL (e.g., nearly full SQL92 support, stored procedures in many languages, "object-oriented" storage, views, triggers, etc) and also the performance advantage that MySQL enjoys over PostgreSQL for some operations.

    We've chosen MySQL over Postgresql because that is what our enterprise customers have requested. If we have sufficient interest in Postgresql, it will definitely move up on the roadmap.
