Kickfire officially launched this week, at the MySQL Conference & Expo.  They provide the first high-performance database appliance for MySQL.  By combining hardware and software innovations with the MySQL open source database, Kickfire brings to market a database appliance with unheard of performance, simplicity, and economics.

We are happy to welcome a new entrant to the MySQL community, especially one that can broaden the adoption of MySQL for high performance, high throughput BI applications.

We are also proud that Kickfire has chosen Talend to be one of their five strategic partners, to build their launch ecosystem.  Along with other partners such as JasperSoft or Zmanda, Talend contributes to offering from day one a complete solution to the market.
