LogicBlaze has entered into an agreement with MySQL AB, under which LogicBlaze will distribute LogicBlaze FUSE for MySQL, a configuration developed exclusively for the MySQL database. Under the agreement, LogicBlaze will resell support for MySQL through the MySQL Network and offer product delivery and coordinated support through subscriptions to its Community-oriented Real-time Engineering (CoRE) Network, which delivers a suite of services for open source SOA, including consulting, training, developer assistance and enterprise production support.

"The greatest benefit of SOA is that it enables organizations to extend existing applications and infrastructure to realize greater business benefits. As an open source-based distribution, LogicBlaze FUSE extends the benefits beyond traditional enterprise application use to broad-based technologies such as Perl, Python, Ruby and PHP," said Winston Damarillo (pictured), executive chairman, LogicBlaze. "LogicBlaze's partnership with MySQL is an important step forward in our effort to accelerate SOA adoption, so that anyone can reap the benefits of enterprise-class scalability, reliability and connectivity, in almost any type of application environment."

LogicBlaze FUSE is the first and only SOA and Web 2.0 platform available as an Apache License 2.0 open source distribution, combining enterprise-class messaging scalability, performance and reliability with connectivity for a broad range of interfaces and transports, including native support for Perl, Python, Ruby and PHP, the companies say. Also provided as an open source distribution, LogicBlaze FUSE for MySQL provides a lightweight, yet scalable infrastructure that brings enterprise messaging, integration and management capabilities to MySQL environments, bringing improved scalability, reliability and connectivity to application stacks built on the MySQL database platform.

LogicBlaze FUSE incorporates the Apache Incubator's ActiveMQ, the leading open source messaging platform based on the Java Messaging Service (JMS) specification. ActiveMQ is an open source, easily deployed and extremely robust messaging system that provides a foundation for reliability and scalability in distributed computing environments, including the LAMP and Ajax application stacks. The heart of the LogicBlaze FUSE platform is the Apache Incubator's ServiceMix enterprise service bus (ESB), the leading open source integration solution based on the Java Business Integration (JBI) specification. ServiceMix provides the foundation for an open, standards-based SOA environment. Additionally, LogicBlaze FUSE enables high availability for Ajax applications through Jetty, its HTTP server, which leverages continuations to support high volume connections for Ajax-enabled interfaces.

"We are pleased to work with LogicBlaze to help bring the company's open source SOA platform to the growing ecosystem of software for the MySQL database," said Nicolas Pujol, director of Alliances at MySQL. "The availability of LogicBlaze's feature-rich open source SOA and Web 2.0 infrastructure solution designed specifically for MySQL environments can provide improved scalability, reliability and connectivity to any application built on the MySQL database platform."
