There are at least 8 billion people in the world. And 5.45 billion of them live in a digital world. If one person symbolizes one character and identity as a human being, how about more in their digital realm? People across the globe are using the internet to connect and build relationships–whether it’s for professional or personal usage. By law, it’s essential to acknowledge the importance of data privacy and security for all to protect one’s identity online. 

So how does business–enterprise level perhaps–deal with it? With all the data in the world, how does one organization or your company manage it? Sure is; EnterpriseDB (EDB) knows about it. As an open technology that offers data management at its finest and is currently on the verge of incorporating AI into its software solutions, EDB, along with IT Group, Inc. (ITG), EDB has a way to help you with your enterprise level of data. Here are the things you should know about it.

What is EDB or Enterprise Database?

But before going deep into what EDB can offer to you and your businesses, let’s define what an enterprise database means.  An enterprise database is the central repository where all of an enterprise’s collected data is stored,” EDB said.”Database Management System (DBMS) tools structure raw data and connect it with enterprise users, applications, and decision-makers, providing them with the information they need to operate.”They added that EDB’s DBMS software provides four primary functions: organization and management of data, manipulation and retrieval of data, protection of data, and concurrent use of data. Each primary function serves as a pillar to ensure data integrity is being processed and stored properly.

Open Source Data Management

To dig deeper, EDB is also an open source data management system. In fact, one of the biggest and most trusted companies in terms of open source technology. ITG, the leading IT Solution Partner in the Philippines and ASEAN region, aligns with EDB’s core value of promoting enterprise data management. “The EDB Postgres™ Platform creates a cohesive data management fabric that accommodates a wider range of workloads and tasks by integrating with legacy systems and emerging innovative solutions,” ITG said.”The DBMS database platform enables integration across different databases, but it also supports combining unstructured data from NoSQL solutions with corporate, transactional data in structured, relational systems.”

Enterprise Database Management

With four primary functions EDB promotes, let’s take how the enterprise level is processed. On top of it is the organization and management of data. It means that “DBMS tools can organize stored data by format. For example, tables, reports, and spreadsheets, to name a few. With this, companies can easily filter the information they need and have a grasp of their business standing, and it “enables granular management by defining data types, structures, and constraints’. In terms of manipulation and retrieval, this is where it becomes crucial to have one DBMS software you can trust, like EDB and ITG. “DBMS users can insert, retrieve, update, or delete data as needed. The DBMS maintains data integrity by ensuring stored data is accurate and consistent across users,” EDB said.

Another way to secure data integrity is the protection of information. With EDB, “user authentication, data encryption and Disaster Recovery (DR) protocols prevent unauthorized access and secure business continuity by safeguarding data against corruption or loss,” EDB added. They further explained that with risk management and protection, you can guarantee accuracy because of its safe and secure way of handling bulk level of information, scaling the process, and robust efficiency at all costs. Last but not least, data and information are concurrently used. With. EDB’s way, “Enterprise databases must process multiple users’ queries concurrently without compromising data integrity. Enterprise-grade DBMS tools achieve this by ensuring users’ database transactions do not interfere with each other,” they said.

Artificial Intelligence, High-Availability, and EDB

Another particular feature that EDB has to offer is its high availability to handle data and the new offering of EDB with AI. “EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD) provides multi-master replication and data distribution with advanced conflict management, data-loss protection, and throughput up to 5X faster than native logical replication. It enables distributed Postgres clusters with high availability up to five 9s,” EDB said. “By default, EDB Postgres Distributed uses asynchronous replication, applying changes on the peer nodes only after the local commit. You can configure additional levels of synchronicity between different nodes, groups of nodes, or all nodes by configuring Group Commit, CAMO, or Eager Replication.”

On the other hand, EDB announced this year a new logo and brand for its company, putting AI at the forefront. “Marking 20 years of technological progress and innovation, EDB, the leading Postgres data and AI company, today launched EDB Postgres® AI, an intelligent platform for transactional, analytical and AI workloads. This is the industry’s first platform that can be deployed as cloud, software or physical appliance, all powered by the same Postgres engine,” EDB said during the announcement this year. “The launch of EDB Postgres AI also comes with a new corporate identity aimed at the belief that Postgres can solve the AI generation’s most complex data challenges. In this new era, Postgres and EDB will enable customers to break data silos and launch new AI initiatives across any cloud, anywhere with the confidence of enterprise-grade security, compliance and availability.”
