April 14, 2008, SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kickfire™, Inc. today announced the first MySQL database appliance that brings the high-performance capabilities of large commercial database systems to the MySQL market. The company, which officially launches this week at the MySQL Conference & Expo in Santa Clara, CA, has built its appliance by developing an ultra-modern database kernel and a revolutionary SQL chip that packs the power of 10s of high-end CPUs. The result is a small form-factor MySQL appliance that delivers the high performance of large systems but with dramatically lower hardware, power, and cooling costs.
