Dolphin Interconnect Solutions announced today that it has signed a partnership agreement with Linbit Information technologies GmbH.

Targeting the same application markets, the companies will cooperate in marketing, sales and joint solutions giving each company an expanded reach and increased value proposition to its customers and prospects.

The partnership delivers immediate benefits to MySQL which today is used in millions of web and critical enterprise applications. The value is based on Dolphin`s and Linbit`s existing innovative solutions for MySQL, leading to increased security, improved response time and a cost effective way to serve more users. In addition to the synergistic value of the combined solution, Linbit and Dolphin will leverage each other`s sales channels to ensure that the broadest possible community has access to this powerful solution.

Tim Miller, CEO of Dolphin Interconnect Solutions comments that `We are impressed with Linbit`s success over the past years, specifically in relation to MySQL and SUN and we are very excited about the revenue opportunities this partnership can drive.  For many years MySQL users have benefited from LINBIT`s replication technology. This joint partnership will now provide greater value to what Sun has described as a $15B database market, where MySQL is a recognized leader with more than 100 million downloads of its open source database. The database market represents a significant opportunity for us, and Dolphin is committed to continue innovative development focusing on the needs of MySQL, Oracle and other database users. Our partnership with  Linbit fits right into this strategy.`
