It seems as if all IT software and hardware development is positioned toward – or at least trying to be in the same picture with – cloud computing these days.
MySQL is the latest product to get onto the cloud bandwagon. On Day 1 of the Oracle Users Group’s Collaborate 2011 conference in Orlando, Florida, Oracle’s MySQL group on 11 April announced the first development release of MySQL 5.6, which the company says is fine-tuned to deliver better performance and scalability for applications running in cloud systems.
The company credits this largely to an improved InnoDB storage engine and enhanced replication capabilities. Of course, any improvements to MySQL can enhance many types of enterprise system deployments.
Oracle invited the MySQL community to test significant new features, such as NoSQL access to InnoDB via the Memcached protocol, at this site.
New features in MySQL 5.6, according to Oracle:
“With this first MySQL 5.6 development milestone release, we are offering early access to new stable features for testing,” said Tomas Ulin, Oracle’s MySQL vice president of engineering.
