EnterpriseDB Joined Dell EMC Technology Connect Program

EnterpriseDB Corporation (EDB), the Postgres database platform company, is an advantage-level partner in the Dell EMC Technology Connect Partner Program.

The Dell EMC Business Partner Program for Technology Connect Advantage partners provides validated solutions with Dell EMC platforms and third-party applications.

Joint EDB-Dell EMC customers can purchase Dell EMC solutions validated with the EDB Postgres advanced server database.

“We see ever-increasing pressure for scale and performance as we support mission-critical workloads with our open source-based EDB Postgres Advanced Server. Dell EMC’s XtremIO all-flash technology provides our mutual customers with a strong option for optimized storage, allowing us to scale and perform to the standards of our enterprise customers,” said Lenley Hensarling, SVP, strategy and product management, EnterpriseDB. “Our work with Dell EMC to validate this solution supports our customers’ goal of using open source-based databases as a cost-effective way to support their enterprise digital transformation efforts.“

Dell EMC is enabling businesses and service providers to transform their operations and deliver IT as a service. The Technology Connect Partner Program validates Dell EMC with complementary products. EDB and Dell EMC have collaborated, for example, to demonstrate the performance of the EDB Postgres advanced server database on the EMC XtremIO all-flash scale-out array. In testing, Dell EMC found that EDB Postgres on XtremIO delivered performance in the kind of virtualized environments known for their unpredictability. With XtremIO always-on and in-line, data services like deduplication, compression, and virtual copies help to reduce overall storage capacity requirements.

Dell EMC and EDB also tested the EDB Postgres advanced server on DSSD D5 rack-scale flash support. DSSD’s architecture is designed for the most data-intensive applications, both traditional and next-generation, that require extreme levels of performance and the lowest possible latency. DSSD D5 reaches new performances, with real-world results that speed applications such as genetic sequencing calculations, fraud detection, credit card authorization, and advanced analytics. With parallelized execution of sequential scans, joins and aggregates enabled in EDB’s upcoming release of EDB Postgres advanced server, DSSD’s differentiated performance will be a game changer and will open up use cases for the joint solution. Already, the results of the Dell EMC and EDB tests show that the performance of the DSSD D5, together with flexibility of the EDB Postgres database, provides a platform for customers to modernize their traditional database workloads.

Also, currently being tested with EDB Postgres is the DD Boost file system plug-in (BoostFS), a feature of data domain boost software. BoostFS offers increased backup speeds through distributed deduplication, reduced bandwidth requirements, and advanced load balancing and failover. It is simple to deploy and can be up and running in minutes. Administrators of EDB Postgres can meet their most stringent data protection SLA requirements with faster, more efficient backup and recovery.

“We have been working closely with EnterpriseDB testing solutions for relational database workloads where there is a clear need for cost effective and resilient infrastructure,” said Russ Barck, senior director for technology alliances, Dell EMC. “Through combining Dell EMC’s leadership in servers, all-flash Storage and enterprise backup with EnterpriseDB’s leadership in Operational DBMS support, customers can now experience the scale, performance and data protection of Dell EMC with the simplicity of EnterpriseDB.“

About the EDB Postgres Platform

EDB Postgres provides organizations a complete open source-based database platform for digital business.

It is available in three subscription models:

• EDB Postgres Enterprise: Security, higher performance, database compatibility for Oracle and EDB Postgres tool suites. The EDB Postgres enterprise subscription includes the EDB Postgres server database and database compatibility with Oracle.
• EDB Postgres Standard: Open source PostgreSQL for the enterprise – an advanced open source DBMS – with the EDB Postgres tool suites; EDB Postgres standard includes the PostgreSQL database.
• EDB Postgres Developer: Access to EDB Postgres DBMSs, EDB Postgres tool suites, and the benefits of working in a licensed, updated and supported environment; EDB Postgres developer offers a choice of DBMS and targets developer use for initiatives including application development, application modernization, cloud re-platforming, and legacy DBMS replacement.
  

All three EDB Postgres subscriptions include management, integration, and migration tool suites, support and upgrades, and are deployable across a wide range of on-premises and cloud configurations.
