Why Switch to PostgreSQL?
Import Independence
Since PostgreSQL is free and open-source software (FOSS), commercial products can be built on its basis. These products are independent of international versions, meaning the rights belong to the Russian developer. This ensures the product won’t leave the domestic market due to external reasons (e.g., Postgres Pro is included in the Register of Russian Software).
Scalability
PostgreSQL provides data compression, significantly reducing disk subsystem requirements and the number of disk operations. Optimized partitioning allows for efficient processing of large data volumes. Performance on multi-core processors grows linearly up to 64 cores. Cluster solutions like Postgres-XC and Postgres-XL help with horizontal scalability.
Reliability
The data storage format is modified to significantly reduce the risk of data loss and timely notify administrators of disk errors. The “Multimaster” fault-tolerant cluster preserves data if any node fails.
Cross-platform
PostgreSQL works on all types of UNIX-like systems (Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP/UX, Mac OS X) as well as MS Windows.
