WESTFORD, Mass. - April 20, 2010 - EnterpriseDB, the enterprise Postgres company, today announced that Contegix, an award-winning managed hosting provider, is using Postgres Plus Advanced Server as the database of choice to power the high-transaction, mission critical enterprise applications of its customers.
Contegix maintains a state-of-the-art data center from which it offers web hosting services with 100 percent uptime and strict support guarantees. EnterpriseDB was selected both for its enterprise-class open source database platform and for its ability to provide service and support. EnterpriseDB's Postgres support services provide Contegix with code-level support and patch management to keep databases up and running smoothly at all times.
"We can provide everything necessary to move a customer's infrastructure out to a hosted environment and manage their applications," said Contegix Co-founder and CEO, Matthew Porter. "In many cases, the proper management and operation of the database is one of their key concerns. And while the benefits of managed hosting are becoming obvious to the marketplace, it only works if we can guarantee that the database will operate optimally and cost effectively."

In this use case, the database is the repository for a customer-facing, high transaction application which the airline relies upon as its primary link to travelers.
