A scope of existing financial specialists included that additional piece and they were affirmed to incorporate Intel Capital, California Technology Ventures, Tesi, SmartFin Capital and Open Ocean. This new financing takes MariaDB's aggregate raised from speculators to $98 million, $54 million of that whole arrived for the current year.
There's no valuation reported with this round in any case, as we said in September, the arrangement esteems MariaDB at around the €300 million ($354 million) check. That is a respectable hop on the $200 million-$250 million valuation it got in May when it raised €25 million (at that point worth $27 million) from the European Investment Bank.
MariaDB, which is headquartered in Finland with an office in California, is best known for working the most prevalent other option to MySQL, a database administration framework. It said in an announcement it has made "recorded" income picks up amid its latest quarter and money related year.

Alibaba as of now works with MariaDB by means of its Alibaba Cloud business — which is the Chinese firms quickest developing specialty unit — yet Alibaba has more stupendous plans to go up against the best distributed computing players, for example, AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
Nearer coordinated effort with MariaDB is probably going to be an essential piece of that procedure and we may yet observe it compose checks for different players in the distributed computing space. General it is an intense mission with AWS such an overwhelming player, as Amazon's current profit reminded anybody with a short memory.
