MySQL Server Powered by GlobalSolutions
MySQL is an easy to use open-source relational database system. MySQL comes with tools for developing and managing MySQL-based business-critical applications on Windows. At GlobalSolutions, we've packaged MySQL into a production-ready solution, hardened against known vulnerabilities and pre-configured for immediate use on AWS EC2 instances.
Overview
This offering is packed with components to make this a production-ready MySQL Server:
- This package has all the components installed — MySQL Database Server, MySQL Connectors, and MySQL Workbench.
- Connector/ODBC, Connector/C++, Connector/J, Connector/.Net, and Connector/Python are all available.
- Fine-tuned the database for production load.
- Comes with the latest PHP, phpMyAdmin, and Apache.
