Big insider news on James Governor’s blog. If you don’t know who James Governor and Redmonk are, you should. They are giving the bigwigs (Gartner, IDC, Forrester et alia) a run for their money in technology analysis.
Anyway, the news is this, and the details are very sketchy:
- MySQL has signed a million euro deal
- The client is a “European Telco”
- James lists his source as Zack Urlocker, EVP (Products) for MySQL AB.
So, I’m hungry for details. Does anyone know exactly what mix of products, support services and customization/bespoke services are changing hands for that kind of coin?
Cheers
Paul

let me ask zack if we can get some details. i have a feeling the telco in question may want to keep their name secret for the time being, but perhaps we can fill out some detail of the service/product mix. given MySQL offers a universal enterprise support offering for $40k, the 1m figure is quite a delta.
