“We wanted the flexibility to spin up systems as we needed them without having to factor in the high cost of Oracle licenses.”
"EnterpriseDB's support team has consistently exceeded my expectations, going beyond the call to help us resolve any issues."
“EDB Postgres gave us the performance, reliability, and flexibility to deliver on our goals."
"Recently, all financial institutions have been under great pressure to reduce IT costs. We have received many requests to reduce the time and cost of system operations, which is why, since 2019, we have been gradually migrating our services to and offering them in the cloud.”
“We had issues with the Oracle Database we were using at the time, including support and cost structure in a virtual environment. We had to carefully consider the higher licensing costs, which would affect the price of services we provide to our customers."
“As a result of picking up typical batch programs and verifying the compatibility between Oracle Database and EDB, we found that more than half of our programs could be migrated to EDB with almost no modification."
"During the actual migration, we encountered some compatibility issues, but Ashisuto's QA Support Service carefully investigated and answered our questions. As such we were able to quickly resolve the issues each time. Thanks to this, the project proceeded very close to schedule."
“Normally before you make any major changes to a database—whether it’s an upgrade or any kind of enhancement—you want to start in the lower environments. That way you can test everything."
"We needed the best PostgreSQL services and support organization in the world to support one of the largest PostgreSQL OLTP installations in the world."
"The company was also able to take advantage of EDB’s database compatibility for Oracle to migrate a number of applications quickly without having to re-write application code or retrain existing staff."
“At one point, we had SAS, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and BDB all backing various services. We had five databases. That’s not a situation we wanted to be in.”
“We tried Oracle for a few years, but the authentication mechanism wasn’t efficient enough for us.”
“EDB brought in Co-Founder of the PostgreSQL Global Development Group, Bruce Momjian, to help. During this chaotic and critical period, Bruce was in constant contact and able to find a solution to get us back to where we needed to be. Access to that expertise is crucial.”
"The business was still in a startup phase and we could not incur massive costs. That's why we decided to build the middleware as an open source-based product. However, for the database, we were not comfortable with using a completely open source product, because as the heart of the entire system, the database had to have both high performance and high reliability."
"The power usage data that is sent in from endpoints like sensors is stored in a database built with Hbase, and then reconciled with endpoint attribute information that is stored in EDB Postgres. Because the entire EMS is rendered unable to function if a delay with EDB Postgres reconciliation processing causes a failure, it needs to have extremely high levels of performance and reliability. To date, there have been no problems with the database and we have absolutely no concerns about either performance or reliability."
