The promise of utility computing
Being more strategic means embracing complexity – not avoiding it.
The cloud isn’t new to EDB
As early s 2011, we’ve been helping our customers operate Postgres databases in a range of public and private cloud environments
We have also developed cloud enabling products like EDB Postgres Ark, Database as a Service software that helps organizations offer self-service Postgres Databases on premises or in the cloud.
Ark is the platform behind our fully managed DBaaS service
And with the advent of containers, EBD has packaged EDB Postgres Platform for popular container technologies for workload portability on premises and in the cloud.
To top things off, you get all the same benefits of working with EDB including:
- The same EDB Postgres Platform in the cloud or on premises
Access to the EDB team that includes some of the Postgres community leadership
Our expertise from working with over 4,000 customers worldwide
Recognition from industry analysts like Gartner who placed us as the only open source RDBMS in the 2017 Magic Quadrant
By working with EDB you have a partner with a long history and deep knowledge of the cloud.
Public cloud providers like Amazon include migration tools in their DBaaS offerings.
They are designed to help you migrate your schema and data to the cloud.
This, however, is not a complete solution.
EDB Postgres platform helps with more complete migration your Oracle applications to the cloud.
Most noticeably absent from those solutions is the real migration of PL/SQL, the Oracle programming language that encodes critical business logic and functions into the database.
These migrations are basically complete rewrites of your business logic - logic that may have thousands of hours of coding and testing behind them and years of flawless operation.
EDB Postgres Oracle compatibility natively understands and executes the original PL/SQL without emulation or translation layers and requires little rewriting of code.
Any code that needs to be rewritten is smaller than a complete rewrite.
This dramatically reduces the risks of a migration and preserves your staff’s knowledge and use of years of Oracle skills.
This gives your team familiar features and functionality that helps streamline the migration process.
