IDG News Service - Marten Mickos, who was MySQL AB's CEO and has been heading the database unit at Sun Microsystems Inc. since it bought MySQL last year, is leaving Sun, a company spokeswoman confirmed on Friday.
Mickos, who became senior vice president of Sun's database group after the $1 billion acquisition of MySQL, is just the latest high-profile figure associated with the open-source database vendor to depart from Sun.
The MySQL database's creator, Michael "Monty" Widenius, said in a blog post yesterday that he had resigned from Sun because of his unhappiness over its handling of MySQL development — dissatisfaction that he voiced in late November in a highly critical blog post, which Mickos excused as "part of being an open-source company."
Also, MySQL co-founder David Axmark left Sun several months ago, citing the confining nature of corporate life, according to a blog post about his resignation that was written by another MySQL employee.
Mickos couldn't immediately be reached for comment today on his departure.
Sun said his duties have been taken over by fellow executive Karen Tegan Padir, who is now vice president of a newly formed MySQL & software infrastructure group at Sun. Padir led the technology and engineering integration of MySQL into the Sun organization after the acquisition of the database vendor, according to the company.
In addition to MySQL, Padir is now responsible for Sun's Glassfish application server and Java Enterprise System software, plus its identity management and SOA tools. The reorganization "puts MySQL into the mainstream of software at Sun" and will help the company form "even tighter linkages between all software properties," Sun said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Mickos' bio on Sun's Web site has been updated to say that he will serve as an "open-source strategist" until the end of Sun's fiscal third quarter in March.

 |  Enterprise Data Center Network Reference Architecture Simply designing a data center that only deploys more servers, storage and devices significantly increases network complexity and cost. The data center network also must offer components such as security, performance acceleration, high density and a resilient network infrastructure. This document shares Juniper Networks best practices in designing a highly efficient, secure, scalable and flexible data center network.View this webcast  |  Advancing the Economics of Networking Aging network systems and old habits have dictated how businesses spend their IT budgets. As a result, a large percentage of IT dollars are being spent to “stay in the race.” While this model keeps revenue streams flowing for legacy network vendors, it doesn’t necessarily help businesses gain a competitive advantage. Juniper is changing this economic model by delivering a new family of solutions that reduce capital and operational expenses. By freeing up IT budget dollars, Juniper allows businesses to invest in other innovative technologies that will further reduce the cost of doing business while improving their competitive position.Download this white paper |  Implementing HA at the Enterprise Data Center Edge to Connect to a Large Number of Branch Offices This paper reviews the problem of creating a network where the dynamic availability of services is of critical importance.
