Scaling Postgres Plus Advanced Server in the Cloud

Friday, October 23rd, 2009 by Scott Mead

The idea behind the ‘elastic’ cloud is that you can simply ’stretch’ your wasteband by adding more junk in your trunk, i.e. putting more servers online to give you the ability to scale.  The biggest problem here, however, is the simple fact that Postgres really operates on a ’shared-nothing’ architecture, so how is it that we gain anything by simply adding more resources?  That is, how does Postgres become elastic without changing the application or doing massive architecture work?

Right off the bat, I’ll attempt to eliminate confusion.  The following describes a feature specific to EnterpriseDB’s proprietary product, Postgres Plus Advanced Server, and, specifically, InfiniteCache.

Are Oracle Price Increases Affecting Your Budget?

Monday, August 3rd, 2009 by Sean Crowley

Today EnterpriseDB introduced a program to show you just how easy it is to migrate from Oracle to Postgres Plus Advanced Server AND save a considerable amount of money at the same time.

Companies such as Sony Online Entertainment and FTD have already enjoyed considerable savings by migrating from Oracle to Postgres Plus Advanced Server using our Oracle compatibility technology.  In fact, the technology is so reputable that IBM recently licensed it for use in DB2.

We created the Oracle Migration Assessment Program after Oracle recently raised prices on database modules by as much as 40 percent. This comes on the heels of license increases of up to 20 percent in 2008.  An Oracle Migration Assessment report from EnterpriseDB scans, analyzes, categorizes, details, and scores the work necessary to move your Oracle database to the open source based, Oracle compatible, and reasonably priced Postgres Plus Advanced Server.

The program enables enterprises to migrate their applications running on Oracle to Postgres Plus Advanced Server, a PostgreSQL-based database containing an Oracle compatibility layer, with no disruption to operations, and delivers ongoing cost savings of 80 percent or more.

Your Oracle Migration Assessment is performed by an experienced Oracle engineer who will work with your staff to provide you an accurate and reliable report on the viability of migrating your Oracle database complete with time and cost estimates.  You can have our migration experts assist you or have us do all the work.  We also have a full suite of tools, documentation, training, and best practices to guide you through doing the switch yourself.

Interested in trying out our new program?  Read more about it here, or contact us to schedule your Oracle Migration Assessment today.
