EnterpriseDB, developer of the most complete Postgres-based database platform, announces the beta version of its EDB Postgres Migration Portal, the first fully-automated online tool for moving Oracle databases to the EDB Postgres Platform.

 

The Migration Portal is the centerpiece of recent releases that makes it easier for users to run EDB Postgres everywhere – whether an on-premises data center, private or public cloud computing platform. In addition, the company announces new features in EDB Postgres Ark and EDB Postgres Containers that facilitate both on-premises and cloud deployments. The combination of multiple deployment models along with portability to move workloads enables EDB customers to have the same Postgres experience no matter what platform they choose.

 

“We chose to run EDB Postgres in the cloud to support our Analytical Dashboards, where complex queries are getting framed on the fly and processing huge amounts of data,” said Sabareesh Kumar, database administrator, The Nielsen Company. “EDB Postgres automates many manual database management tasks through its intuitive user interface. This decreases the time needed to perform many basic administrative processes while simplifying essential cloud database tasks like upgrading instances, creating replicas, database daily backup and increasing storage.”

 

Cloud computing represents the fastest-growing segment of EnterpriseDB’s business increasing 180 percent year-over-year. This reflects the company’s ability to meet customers’ needs to run databases on-premises and increasingly in the cloud.

 

“We utilize EDB Postgres as the database for our next-generation, cloud-native workforce management and human capital management solution, Workforce Dimensions,” said Lionel Silberman, senior architect, Kronos. “We appreciate the work by EnterpriseDB to make it possible to run the same Postgres in containers for our engineering environment and in the cloud.”
