Postgres Plus enhances PostgreSQL with significant performance gains and important ease-of-use capabilities for developers and DBAs. Bundled into a one-click, cross-platform installer, Postgres Plus is targeted at developers of next-generation applications and sets a new standard for commercial distributions of enterprise open source databases. Postgres Plus Advanced Server is a commercial product that adds advanced capabilities to Postgres Plus, including robust Oracle compatibility, dynamic performance tuning, and sophisticated management and monitoring.
"Postgres Plus is distinguished from other open source database offerings by its enterprise-class performance, scalability, and reliability. These qualities make Postgres Plus attractive to our mid- and large-market enterprise customers running demanding, mission-critical applications," said Alexandre Zapolsky, chief executive officer, LINAGORA. "Additionally, the unique ability of Postgres Plus Advanced Server to run applications written for Oracle will appeal to the many LINAGORA customers that have existing Oracle investments. We predict that the Postgres Plus products will be very popular in France and our other markets."
"LINAGORA is the leading open source company in France, making them an ideal go-to-market partner," said Andy Astor, chief executive officer, EnterpriseDB. "We look forward to growing and serving the enterprise open source database market with them."
