8. The HP Selling MySQL Network
   Hewlett-Packard (HP) is now reselling support services for MySQL AB's open-source database, an HP spokeswoman has confirmed. Under the terms of the deal, HP is selling MySQL Network directly to their customers. MySQL introduced the network in February as a subscription offering that includes certified software updates, technical support and indemnification for enterprise customers using the MySQL database. A customer can choose from three levels of service-silver, gold and platinum-and the cost ranges from $595 per year to $5,000 per year depending on the level of service a customer buys.  MySQL is certified to run on HP's ProLiant and Integrity servers, including its ProLiant blades. All the servers run both Linux and Windows, and the Integrity line also runs HP-UX. However, HP's deal with MySQL is for Linux-based servers only, according to the HP spokeswoman.  MySQL has been lining up major IT companies to resell services and support for its database. Last week at the Linux world Conference & Expo in San Francisco, the company unveiled similar reseller agreements with both Dell Inc. and Novell Inc.
