2. Is your Business ready for Open Source Databases?
The world is waking to an open source environment where the benefits
outweighs more than the drawbacks. In the older days, the closed
environment of the Database Management Systems (DBMSs) offered limited
choice for enterprises when choosing a database. The open source as an
industry is now offering the use of open-source databases where you can
customize your system as per your requirements and develop it to suit your
needs.
At Sysfore, we can prepare your business for the Open Source database
environment. Give us a call and we’ll get you started as per your business
needs.
The open source databases dominating the scene are from different vendors
like Microsoft, SAP, Oracle and IBM. As data is becoming vital for business
success, the need for maintaining, securing and distributing this data on time
and in the requisite format is important.
Historically, the expensive commercial databases have dominated the data
management landscape, but the adoption of open-source database systems is
growing rapidly. Here are the reasons why open source databases are gaining
popularity:
1. Saves on license and database costs: The main reason for businesses to opt
for open source database is the cost factor. Previously organizations were
paying millions, for a commercial user license. While the licensing costs have
reduced considerable, by opting for open source, it doesn’t require the same
costly licensing costs. They can then divert their funds to more important areas
of the company like analytics, cloud etc.
2. Freedom and Flexibility: Using the open source database software means
that you are not locked in to using a particular vendor’s system. This allows you
flexibility and freedom to work with your existing standards-based databases.
The all-inclusive, subscription-based pricing models that some open-source
vendors use have given greater flexibility to organizations.
3. Database Maturity: According to the Gartner’s April report – The State of
Open-Source RDBMS, “By 2018, more than 70 percent of the new in-house
applications will be developed on an open-source database management

3. system.” Open source databases have caught up to commercial capabilities in
their ability to support business-critical enterprise workloads.
4. Online Discussion forums and Community Support: The popularity of open
source databases is due to the active involvement of developers who are
dedicated for improving the open platform. They are compatible with main
tenets of open source: transparency, accountability, the ability to
independently verify facts, and collaboration. This strong community leads to
a more secure enterprise solution that can keep up with the current business
needs.
5. Compatible with your existing database: According to Gartner, open-source
solutions have reached parity with proprietary solutions when it comes to
performance and functionality. The open source database provides users with
enhanced data integration capabilities that allows database administrators to
access and manipulate data being managed by other systems.
6. On Budget: The CIO’s are now under pressure to do more with less as
budget remains a constraint. The increasing data is putting more pressure to
buy storage space and hardware, resulting in costly investments. The
seemingly affordable open source databases offers an easy alternative to help
users stay on budget.
7. Innovative: Open-source plays a role in every industry, from consumer
products such as automotive or mobile apps, all the way down to
infrastructure. It is quickly becoming an enabler to building inexpensive yet
mission-critical applications that differentiate businesses from their
competitors. It allows the community to be innovative and create a better
product.
8. Growing in Support: Open-source database solutions are increasingly
becoming the primary choice among developers, due to their efficiency, rich
functionality and low cost. They can turn to cloud solutions and open source
for rapid development (open-source saves up to 80 percent over proprietary
solutions). It’s unnecessary for companies to learn new query languages or
alternative ways to structure data, and even established and financially secure
companies are deploying open-source software solutions to reduce costs.
