Further evidence emerged today of Open Source software's move
from its traditional stronghold, network infrastructures, into
the mission-critical application space. Sirius Corporation,
leading European Open Source services provider, has been
charged with supporting PostgreSQL for global datawarehouse
Pindar Set, in the UK and US.
Sirius Corporation's expert knowledge of the PostgreSQL
database and middleware platform JBoss was crucial in its
selection by Pindar Set.
Until now the lack of truly capable 24/7 support has
discouraged organisations from migrating to PostgreSQL from
proprietary databases. Sirius Corporation has addressed this
concern.
Mark Taylor, CEO of Sirius Corporation said: “Enterprise Open
Source is penetrating deep into the mainstream. Linux is
already established as the new choice for enterprise
infrastructure. We are now moving up the stack into business
critical applications.”
Simon Riggs, PostgreSQL lead in the UK said: “Free PostgreSQL
has the speed, compatibility and sophisticated features of
proprietary databases. Enterprise-level support with global
coverage will only help to increase the pace of its
adoption.”
