The MariaDB database, a "fork" of the open-source MySQL product line, offers a range of advanced functionality including data replication and NoSQL capabilities. In May the company debuted MariaDB TX 2.0, a new release of the transactional edition of the database, and now offers MariaDB AX for data analytics and data warehouse tasks.
The company has headquarters in Espoo, Finland, and Menlo Park, Calif. Alibaba Group led a $27 million Series C funding round in November, bringing the company's total financing to $54 million.
