Xeround is a provider of cloud database software, launched in 2005. The company was founded by Sharon Barkai and Gilad Zlotkin.

Israeli financial newspaper Globes ranked the company as one of Israel's most promising start-ups in 2006. Xeround's product was initially used by Telecom providers, including T-Mobile; in 2009 the company added a MySQL front end to its product, making it applicable to a mass market of 12 million MySQL applications.

The beta version of the service was reported to be used by 2000 organizations; General Availability was announced in June 2011. According to CNET blogger Dave Rosenberg, Xeround's MySQL support makes it "well positioned to take a leadership position in the database market".
