Virage Embeds MySQL in New, Rich-Media Learning Solution

To help manage courses in the company's new solution for the learning market, Virage has embedded the MySQL database in its recently announced VS Learning product.

Virage is a leading provider of video and rich-media communications software for corporations, media and entertainment companies, universities and government agencies worldwide. The company's customer list includes such industry leaders as CNN, CNET, The Coca Cola Company, General Electric, the Harvard Business School and MIT, among many others.

"MySQL has proven to be powerful and reliable," said Stanford Au, Virage's vice president of engineering. "We value MySQL's dependability for managing courseware in our new VS Learning product for the learning space."

VS Learning enables companies to create, manage, publish and view "on-demand" corporate training and presentations containing video and other rich-media assets. The MySQL database is key to the VS Learning solution, allowing clients to store and manage user and training information, such as a learners' personalized course catalogs and learner tracking data.
