•   Automatic scaling, load balancing and failover
•   Automated online backup and point-in-time recovery
•   Database Cloning

EnterpriseDB is the only worldwide provider of enterprise-class products and services based on PostgreSQL, the world’s most advanced and independent open source database. For years PostgreSQL has been recognised for its transaction processing capabilities and performance across a wide array of query intensive and mixed load applications. Now customers can begin to take advantage of PostgreSQL "elastically" in the cloud.

“Postgres Plus Cloud Database is the only solution on the market today that makes deploying new instances of PostgreSQL or Postgres Plus Advanced Server easy in any environment,” said Ed Boyajian, President and CEO of EnterpriseDB. “And, through our partnerships with industry leaders such as Red Hat, CloudBees, Engine Yard, HP and OpenStack, customers will have numerous ways to take advantage of PostgreSQL ‘elastically’ on multiple cloud platforms.”

Michael Breeze, Interactive Ideas Marketing Director commented “We are delighted to be taking part in the Red Hat Cloud tour. Interactive Ideas are a leading distributor for Red Hat and have experienced the growth of open source products with Linux. We are now seeing greater adoption of open source technologies in other areas such as the database with PostgreSQL. All businesses and organizations are under pressure to do more with less and open source can assist this.”
