Infor launches open-source strategy, embraces Red Hat stack, MySQL

Infor has certified some of its products for Red Hat's Linux and JBoss middleware and added support for the MySQL and MariaDB databases, as part of a new push into open-source software, the companies announced Wednesday. Specifically, Infor's LN ERP (enterprise resource planning) suite, along with its ION integration framework, have been certified for Red Hat's stack. LN and ION customers can also now use MySQL and MariaDB, the latter of which is a fork of the MySQL codebase.Annika Sorenstam Matthew Broderick/ Nathan Lane Mel Brooks
