EnterpriseDB and Sun Reaping Benefits from Open Source Databases

There were new metrics out this week for both EnterpriseDB's PostgreSQL-centric database business, and Sun Microsystems' MySQL business. These players are at the forefront of challenging pricing for databases and surrounding services from competitors such as Oracle, and both are having strong success with strategies focused on open source databases. In Sun's case, some of the folks who questioned whether $1 billion was too much to pay for MySQL should take a second look.

OSS Data Integration Provider Talend Gets $12 Million in Financing

Talend, which specializes in free, open source data integration software, has just received $12 million in Series C venture funding in a round led by Balderton Capital, one of the early investors in MySQL. As part of the deal, Balderton General Partner Bernard Liautaud, who was the founder, CEO and Chairman of Business Objects for 18 years until its eventual sale to SAP for $6.7 billion, will join Talend?s board of directors. Talend Open Studio, a free download, is the company's flagship data integration project, and the company claims more than 3.3 million downloads of it. The hefty investment comes immediately after a relatively bleak quarter for venture financing for open source companies.


Marketcetera's Open Trading Platform Taking FOSS and Finance Further

The Marketcetera team is as aware as the rest of us that economic changes are coming fast and furious, and that open source software can have an impact on a company's -- or individual's -- financial future. Honestly, one could say Marketcetera is twice as aware of open source software's financial potential.

Today, Marketcetera released the first full production release of its open source automated trading platform. Aimed at hedge fund managers, traders, brokers and dealers, the system is standardized, open, scalable and modular. This, says Marketcetera CEO Graham Miller, offers users faster deployments, better integration, and the ability to customize everything from the public APIs to data models.
