SAN FRANCISCO, LINUXWORLD CONFERENCE AND EXPO, August 9, 2005 ?
EnterpriseDB Corporation, an enterprise database company,
announced today at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo that the
company has released the General Availability version of the
company's flagship product, EnterpriseDB 2005, and pricing
information for the company's license and technical support
plans. The release marks the end of the software's beta program,
which began on May 23rd. EnterpriseDB 2005 is an enterprise-class
database that is built on PostgreSQL, the world's most advanced
open source database. It delivers Oracle compatibility as well as
performance enhancements over PostgreSQL. More information and
EnterpriseDB 2005 downloads are available from the company's
website at www.enterprisedb.com.
"We spent this summer's beta program ensuring the quality and
completeness of our product, which is now 100% production-ready,"
said EnterpriseDB CEO Andy Astor. "Even before we finished, we
announced software quality test results that were ten times
better than MySQL's and a hundred times better than average
commercial code. Combined with the aggressive pricing we
announced today, EnterpriseDB 2005 should be a top consideration
for every enterprise, especially those seeking to leverage
previous Oracle investments."
EnterpriseDB 2005 is free for evaluation, development and
low-volume deployments. The free license includes unlimited
Web-based technical support. Enterprise software licenses and
technical support are available in three tiers. The Silver tier,
which costs $1,000 per CPU per year, provides a software update
and patch service, unlimited email and Web support and
business-day telephone support. The Gold tier, which costs $3,000
per CPU per year, adds faster response for email support and 24/7
telephone support. The Platinum tier, which costs $5,000 per CPU
per year, adds a perpetual software license, a designated
technical account manager, intellectual property indemnification
and on-request production tuning.
About EnterpriseDB 2005
EnterpriseDB Corporation enhanced PostgreSQL, the world's most
advanced open source database, to create EnterpriseDB 2005.
EnterpriseDB 2005 delivers enterprise-compatibility,
Oracle-compatibility and budget-compatibility - in short,
EnterpriseDB is "business compatible".
Enterprise compatibility means that EnterpriseDB 2005 runs
significantly faster than most other databases, including MySQL,
in typical transactional applications and that it is robust and
reliable, as its record-low defect rate - 100 times less than
average commercial software - demonstrates. Oracle compatibility
means that many applications written for Oracle will run
unmodified on EnterpriseDB 2005. Budget compatibility means that
EnterpriseDB 2005's inexpensive pricing reflects its open source
heritage and that its linear, per-CPU pricing structure is
economical for deployments of all sizes.
EnterpriseDB 2005 includes EDB Database Server, the RDBMS engine,
EDB Studio, a console for developers and DBAs, and EDB
Connectors, which provide access to EnterpriseDB 2005 from JDBC,
ODBC, .NET, ESQL/C++, PHP, Perl and Python.
EnterpriseDB will be demonstrating EnterpriseDB 2005 in booth
#552 at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, August 8-11 in San
Francisco. EnterpriseDB has donated space in its booth to enable
the PostgreSQL community to have a presence at the show, and
community representatives will also be present in the booth each
day.
