Ingres Corp., a provider of open source enterprise-grade relational database and analytic database, has launched SkySafe, a cloud platform, and a suite of services for developing applications, analysing data and archiving data.
The SkySafe is an enterprise-grade cloud-based service that enables companies to develop and run applications securely without traditional administrative overhead.
The service manages all structured data in one repository whether it is real-time, transactional or analytical, allowing users to seamlessly toggle between analytical and transactional business processes, thereby negating the need for multiple specialised databases.
The SkySafe service includes: customisation to match a company’s individual business needs including peaks and valleys in required response times, data volumes and support levels.
In addition, the service features deployment options – public or private clouds using virtualisation technologies such as VMware’s vSphere; and database administration, configuration, upgrades, maintenance and tuning.
The company has also launched SkyInsight, a cloud-based interactive reporting and analysis service that enables companies to drive business insight from data at high speed without the overhead associated with data analysis projects.
In addition to the above, the company has also launched SkyArchive, a cloud-based data archiving offering that enables companies to address the challenge of rising volumes of data at reduced cost.
Ingres CEO Terry Garnett said technologies for enterprise data management are evolving quickly, and in speaking with a broad range of customers and prospects, the company heard they are looking for data management services that are available on-demand with inherent security.
"SkySafe is available today as a managed service to accelerate the creation of new cloud-based applications while SkyInsight and SkyArchive offer cloud-based data analysis and optional data storage," Garnett said.
