Leading MySQL replacement scale-out database provider Clustrix announced its commitment to the Korean market with the opening of its Seoul office and the hiring of Eun-Chul Lee as country manager of Korea and Jin Lim as vice president of technology.

Lim brings more than 17 years of R&D experience in scale-out database, storage infrastructure, and information sharing applications to Clustrix. Most recently he led a sought-after R&D team with Samsung Electronics, and prior to that he held positions at Couchbase, Oracle, and EMC.
