REDWOOD CITY, USA: Ingres Corporation, open source database company has announced today three enterprise customers that have deployed their mission-critical infrastructure on open source solutions.
Biveroni Batschelet Partners AG (BBP), Allied Express, and Connected Weddings have migrated to solutions based on Ingres Database, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and JBoss Enterprise Middleware.
This combination of open source solutions is enabling enterprises like these three companies to deploy Java applications on leading commercial open source infrastructure software.
The combined stack gives enterprises and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) a low-cost alternative to proprietary application development. Open source solutions continue to cut costs out of the datacenter while providing IT departments with the performance, reliability and world-class support they need to continue to innovate and grow their business.
"In a world of tight IT budgets customers are taking a hard look at the unnecessary license fees that they pay to proprietary vendors of operating systems, application servers, and databases," said Roger Burkhardt, CEO, Ingres.
"Globally, IT organizations spend upwards of $10 billion each year on license fees and have found that they can cut costs and still innovate if they deploy on a full open source infrastructure stack. These enterprise customers confidently rely on Ingres and Red Hat to provide enterprise class support for their deployments."
