Brightlemon London brings Learning Communities Closer Together With Mysql

MySQL

Market leaders MySQL is an open source database delivery, providing fast performance and high reliability which makes it the perfect partner for Brightlemon to deliver robust and effective social networking solutions.

NetworkBRANDED, the ready-made social networking platform that harnesses the formidable potential of online communities to enable clients and projects to reach out to a widening audience. The platform, which was heavily featured on MySQL, came out of Brightlemon London, an experienced web team specialising in online creation, development and maintenance -- in particular for public sector and educational web sites.

As experienced Web developers, the team behind NetworkBRANDED understood that speed, flexibility, scalability and ease of integration are all key to delivering successful online projects. They also knew that for young audiences, sites need to offer social networking capabilities such as those offered by Facebook.
Network BRANDED use the application infrastructure based on MySQL software, which is deployed in the majority of the world's top social networking sites. MySQLM has became the natural choice for Brightlemon as well!
