At the heart of the EDB Postgres

Platform,

organizations will find a mature DBMS

with relational and non-relational

capabilities to support diverse

workloads from traditional OLTP and

reporting workloads, to key-value and

document databases.

Organizations can choose between a

hardened version of open source

PostgreSQL and EDB Postgres

Advanced Server with improved

performance, enterprise security,

compatibility for Oracle®, and DBA and

developer productivity features.

While the Management Suite provides

mission-critical tools for database

infrastructure monitoring, tuning, high

availability and disaster recovery, the

Integration Suite allows enterprises to

build a data platform across multiple

data sources

EDB continues, for the fifth consecutive year, to be recognized among elite database vendors in the

Gartner Magic Quadrant for OPDBMS

including traditional DBMSs and new

data stores, providing a holistic view of

data. The Migration Suite facilitates

schema and data migrations to EDB

Postgres. 

The platform's flexible deployment

options include bare metal, virtualization

and containers; and private, public, and

hybrid cloud allowing customers to

easily integrate EDB Postgres into their

existing infrastructure or move instances

across deployment options.

5The EDB Postgres Platform

is complemented by a portfolio

of professional services

offerings, 24/7 global mission-

critical support, remote DBA

services, and training and

certification helping customers to

get the best value out of their

Postgres deployments.

EDB POSTGRES SOLUTIONS USE CASES

USE CASE: LEGACY MIGRATION

Compatibility with Oracle® and leverage existing

DBA skills

Clear Capital supports mortgage lenders and services

providers, investors, government-sponsored enterprises

and ratings agencies with property risk assessments.

One of its mission-critical products, the Home Data

Index, used Oracle. The company faced rising licensing

costs because the application was growing rapidly, and

it anticipated future growth and wanted to control costs.

Clear Capital migrated the application to EDB Postgres,

taking advantage of EDB’s database compatibility for

Oracle. The application also utilized geospatial

technology, and with EDB Postgres, Clear Capital was

able to use PostGIS, a geospatial open source

extension to Postgres.

What We Did

EDB assessed the Home Data Index application using

the EDB Postgres Migration Assessment Toolkit to

determine the level of migration difficulty. About 80% of

the Oracle application matched easily to comparable

functions and packages in EDB Postgres Advance

Server and ran right away after migration. EDB provided

an on-site engineer to help with additional

customization. Clear Capital deployed EDB Postgres

Enterprise Manager to streamline database

administration and utilized EDB’s Dynatune utility to

optimize the system resources. The company also

deployed the EDB Postgres Replication Server for high

availability. Finally, Clear Capital implemented the

infinite cache feature in EDB Postgres Advanced Server

to reduce processing time for extremely large

transactions from several minutes to just .5 seconds.

USE CASE: NEW APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

DevOps, schemaless rapid development, and multiple

programming language support

One of EDB's largest U.S. customers is a major insurance

company. This insurance carrier supported its home, life,

and auto insurance policy systems on separate

applications in a way that prevented customers and

brokers from accessing their policies from a single

interface. The carrier approached EnterpriseDB (EDB) to

build an application based on the

EDB Postgres Platform that would provide a single point of

access for customers and brokers to all of the policies held

by an individual. Because customer service is so important

to the company, uptime is critical to the application; the

application could have no planned outages for technical

maintenance and would need to meet a 99.99% availability

requirement.

What We Did

EDB Postgres Advanced Server provided the performance

and scalability the insurance company needed to support

tens of millions of customers and policies. EDB Postgres

was deployed to coordinate data stored in multiple data

centers. EDB engineers worked with the company to

deploy Slony, an open source replication solution, as well

as EDB Postgres Replication Server for Multi-Master, to

ensure the data stored across multiple locations is

synchronized and to ensure the system meets the 99.99%

availability requirement. The company now also deploys

EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager for administration across

the thousands of databases deployed to support the

application.

USE CASE: MIGRATION TO THE CLOUD

Flexible deployment options and simple business terms

EDB works with a leading provider of business application

software that serves more than 70,000 customers

worldwide. The company was working to modernize its

platform of legacy applications to support cloud-ready

deployments and began considering open source software.

An open source stack would provide its customers freedom

from vendor lock-in and lower total-cost-of-ownership (TCO),

as well as the freedom to deploy in cloud environments.

The company approached EDB for an open source-based

database. The addition of EDB Postgres Advanced Server

to the company’s application suite provided a total cost of

ownership for end users that was just 20 percent (or less) of

the cost of a proprietary stack. EDB provided the same

scalability, performance, and reliability of Oracle, which the

company had replaced to create an alternative option, yet

gave customers new levels of deployment flexibility in the

cloud.

What We Did

EDB collaborated with the company and provided

engineering resources to ensure the migration ran

smoothly. The company utilized the database compatibility

for Oracle technology in EDB Postgres to migrate its suite.

EDB also worked with the company to ensure performance

benchmarks. The end result was that EDB Postgres

supported 87.4 transactions/user, over 15 minutes faster

than Oracle’s performance of 88 transactions/user over the

same time period.

USE CASE: APPLICATION MODERNIZATION

Multi-model flexibility, integration with popular data sources

Ericsson powers some of the world’s largest and most

complex video platforms. A key part of the Ericsson TV &

Media portfolio is the Content Management System (CMS),

which is a comprehensive platform for the end-to-end

management of content operations for the television

industry. Facing increasing demands for volume and

performance, Ericsson re-architected the system and, in the

process, replaced its legacy database, a traditional vendor,

with  EDB Postgres. The new, modernized system increased

Ericsson’s title ingestion rate from 5 to 11 titles per minute –

an increase of 120% – and has better positioned Ericsson to

meet future demands.

What We Did

EDB Postgres Advance Server provided the necessary

scalability, efficiency, and performance at a much lower

cost than the database solution Ericsson had been using.

To perform the migration, Ericsson used the EDB Postgres

Migration Toolkit to migrate the application from the legacy

solution to EDB Postgres Advanced Server. EDB’s database

compatibility technology ensured that the migration ran

much smoother and the company could continue to use

existing legacy skills and tools. For high availability,

Ericsson deployed EDB Postgres Failover Manager to

create fault tolerant DBMS cluster to minimize downtime.

Ericsson also deployed EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager

for administration.
