Why EDB?
:High availability for PostgreSQLDatabase downtime—anything less than five 9s—can lead to painful losses in revenue and reputation. EDB enhances PostgreSQL with tools to maintain not just High Availability (HA), but extreme high availability.
When you absolutely, positively need five 9s
To a business running a mission critical system, the difference between four and five nines is much bigger than just another 9.
Even just an hour of downtime a year is significant when you’re running a mission critical system responsible for processing tens of thousands of transactions per second, every single second of the year.
| downtime rating | per week | per month | per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 99.999% Five 9s | 6 secs | 26 secs | 5 mins, 15 secs |
| 99.99% Four 9s | 1 min | 4 mins, 22 secs | 52 mins, 35 secs |
If you are processing 1,000 transactions per second, on a yearly basis that represents 3,155,000 transactions that could be missed. If you’re running a payment gateway, for example, that could have seriously detrimental effects to your business and your customers.
