datanami, February 28th, 2023
EDB (formerly EnterpriseDB) has announced EDB Postgres Distributed 5.0. The company says this database enhancement solves the problems of planned downtime and unplanned outages for enterprises running business-critical applications.
According to Uptime Institute's 2022 Outage Analysis Report, 80% of datacenters have experienced an outage in the past two years as data disruption and outages become more commonplace. Postgres Distributed 5.0 powers EDB's Extreme High Availability add-on, which the company claims allows customers to run PostgreSQL with five nines availability (99.999%+). EDB says this extreme high availability ensures maximal uptime, protects business-critical applications, increases availability of web-based applications, and avoids productivity disruptions.
