Customers purchasing the EnterpriseDB bundle via RHX will receive technical support from Red Hat under a standardized Red Hat subscription agreement that covers all software available on RHX. 

“PostgreSQL, the foundation of EnterpriseDB Advanced Server, has long been a key component of the Red Hat Application Stack and has been appreciated by our customers for its proven reliability and enterprise-class feature set,” said Donald Fischer, vice president of Online Services at Red Hat. “We are excited to announce today's launch of RHX and the RHX-EnterpriseDB offering. This offering will appeal to customers that additionally require a high-performance database for demanding OLTP applications or that would benefit from EnterpriseDB’s Oracle compatibility.”

“RHX delivers EnterpriseDB pre-integrated with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and other leading open source infrastructure software, simplifying technology selection and enabling easy deployment,” said Andy Astor, chief executive officer, EnterpriseDB. “Customers will also have a single point of contact for their entire infrastructure’s technical support, an obvious benefit when rapid resolution is essential.”
