EDISON, N.J., Jun. 11, 2008 - EnterpriseDB, the leading enterprise open source database company, announced today that it has been named to the 2008 SD Times 100.

The company also announced significant customers and partnerships in 2007, including FTD, Ticketline, and Tomax.
"It's an honor to receive this distinction from SD Times," said Ed Boyajian, chief executive officer, EnterpriseDB. "It's particularly gratifying that SD Times recognizes the growing popularity of open source databases as an alternative to expensive proprietary offerings. With the introduction of the Postgres Plus product family earlier this year, EnterpriseDB is poised to be a leader in the open source database marketplace again in 2008."
