As enterprises increasingly seek cloud-based database solutions, Postgres has emerged as a top choice due to its unparalleled flexibility, portability, and ability to run on any cloud platform. However, many organizations have been tied to Oracle-based applications, burdened by exorbitant costs, inflexible contracts, and limited performance. EDB's Guaranteed Postgres Migration program provides a seamless and efficient path for these organizations to migrate to enterprise-grade Postgres, enabling them to build new cloud-native applications while transitioning existing applications and realizing significant cost savings.

“There is a long list of reasons why Oracle customers are making the Postgres move with EDB,” said Celest Turner Hall, Senior Vice President of Product Marketing, EDB. “Since inception, EDB has invested in Oracle-compatible Postgres, with cornerstone products like EDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS) that deliver replication as well as enhanced security, productivity and performance. With the EDB Guaranteed Postgres Migration program, we have removed the most significant barriers to moving off of Oracle while providing customers with industry-leading professional services and unmatched Postgres expert support.”

The EDB Guaranteed Postgres Migration program sets a new standard for enterprises seeking to migrate from Oracle to Postgres, providing a risk-free, efficient, and cost-effective solution. With EDB's expertise and commitment to customer success, organizations can confidently embrace the performance, scalability, security, and cost-saving advantages of Postgres for their database needs.

“We know of a number of Oracle users who would like to try PostgreSQL for at least part of their existing database workload but are put off by the risk and expense of conversion,” said Carl Olofson, Research Vice President, IDC. “Although EDB offers a solid enterprise-grade platform with EDB Postgres Advanced Server and native public cloud support with BigAnimal, database migrations are often fraught with complications. Such users should find EDB Guaranteed Postgres Migration to be just the thing to initiate their journey to PostgreSQL.”
