Case Study

Description:
Sony Online Entertainment's database needs are considerable, and its database applications are the very definition of mission-critical: hundreds of thousands of online users play SOE's games around the clock, and each game is an extraordinarily database-intensive application. Examining its business, SOE found that its Oracle databases were extremely expensive and that Oracle's licensing practices were inflexible and restrictive. Read this case study to find out why SOE chose Postgres Plus Advanced Server for its open source software needs.

EnterpriseDB Corporation Case Study Sample

At the end of a thorough review and selection process, SOE chose Postgres Plus Advanced Server. An important factor in SOE's decision was Postgres Plus Advanced Server's ability to run database applications written for Oracle. SOE found that 80% of the applications it had selected to move from Oracle ran on Postgres Plus Advanced Server with little or no modification and that its Oracle-trained staff could immediately work comfortably and efficiently with Postgres Plus Advanced Server. Another important factor was Postgres Plus Advanced Server's PostgreSQL foundation, which guaranteed the reliability and stability that SOE required. Finally, Postgres Plus Advanced Server was available for only a small fraction of the cost of Oracle.
