According to a new article out of the company, “EnterpriseDB, the leading Postgres database company, today announced the immediate availability of the EDB Postgres Advanced Server® 9.5. EDB Postgres Advanced Server increases performance and scalability, powers more complex workloads, enhances security, and both expands compatibility with and facilitates migration from Oracle. It is no surprise that the DBMS market continues to shift towards Postgres open-source-based solutions. In fact, EDB works with approximately 20% of the Fortune 500, who consistently emphasize the need for advanced features and functionality. Analysts confirm, as global business leaders continue to address the imperative of becoming a platform for innovation, they must have a cost-effective DBMS robust enough to handle their needs in real time, and to support their digital innovation strategies.”
The article continues, “According to Marc Linster, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Products and Services at EDB, ‘Organizations of all sizes and types are cutting database costs wherever possible by deploying capable, open-source-based alternatives to proprietary databases. The ability to control expensive proprietary vendor costs with open source has been proven with Linux for operating systems; Xen and KVM for virtualization; JBoss and Apache for middleware; and is now being applied to databases. We see large organizations successfully repurpose budgets to open-source-based solutions, as well as deploy next generation apps with EDB Postgres to strategically transform their businesses to meet the demands of the digital economy’.”
