“The performance and scalability of
Postgres supported our operations
as we expanded, while the savings
compared to a proprietary solution
enabled us to redirect spending to
other parts of the business.”

Postgres can now support virtually all
of today’s data types and support both
unstructured and semi-structured data.
Examples are a JSON data type for
document storage and the capability to
manage key-value stores in Postgres.
Foreign Data Wrappers also enable
Postgres to interchange data from multiple
external data sources.
This means Postgres can power applications
written for many NoSQL technologies. It
also means that developers can build
applications with Postgres that achieve the
same result as a NoSQL solution.
Database Cost Containment with Open Source
Capabilities for Today’s Big Data Workloads
New, more complex data sources and
demands for greater performance and
access to data from across the enterprise
are putting increasing pressure on data
center managers to accomplish more with
the same or dwindling budgets.
Advances in PostgreSQL and the
performance, security and manageability
enhancements that EnterpriseDB has
integrated into the database for its Postgres
Plus Advanced Server have produced a
powerful open source-based alternative for
the database layer in IT software stacks.
Postgres’ recent releases have equipped the
database with the capabilities to run 60 to 80
percent of the applications most enterprise
data centers now power with more costly
solutions, but for a fraction of the cost.
Forward-thinking CIOs are now optimizing
their mix of open source and proprietary
software in their software stack to match the
most cost-effective solution to each problem
and redirect budget savings to new strategic
initiatives.
