pgEdge for Telecommunications

Low latency and high availability, made easy.

Deliver better customer experiences while reducing risk and costs

Companies in the telecommunications industry face an array of major challenges. There is a constant drive to deliver improved customer experiences and reduce churn, all while significantly reducing costs and meeting ever increasing regulatory requirements.

High availability, lower software costs

Telecom companies today utilize distributed database systems from proprietary vendors to ensure high availability, but costs are substantial and typically increasing. This has driven companies to look to open source databases such as Postgres to lower costs, but robust distributed capabilities are lacking. pgEdge Distributed Postgres and its multi-active (multi-master) architecture provide a robust non-proprietary solution at a fraction of current software costs.

Deployment flexibility

pgEdge offers a deployment choice between a managed database-as-a-service offering with pgEdge Cloud, or self-hosted and self-managed via pgEdge Distributed Postgres (with a Subscription). And since pgEdge Cloud deploys into your own cloud accounts you can take over management at any time, mitigating regulatory vendor risk concerns.

100% Postgres and 100% open source (you can fire us)

pgEdge is 100% based on standard Postgres, and is itself 100% open source, with pgEdge extensions available via the PostgreSQL License. Put simply, you are not locked into pgEdge as a vendor.
