SRA OSS Introduces PowerGres SSP for Enhanced Database Reliability

SRA OSS, based in Toshima, Tokyo, has recently unveiled an exciting addition to its suite of commercial databases, the PowerGres SSP. This innovative product is designed to provide automated recovery capabilities for PostgreSQL-compatible databases on a single server, making database management more reliable and user-friendly.

PowerGres, initially developed as a commercial alternative to the open-source PostgreSQL, has gained considerable traction in the market, with over 18,000 installations due to its robust features and excellent cost performance. Now, with the introduction of PowerGres SSP, users can expect even more reliability, especially in situations where failures occur.

Key Features of PowerGres SSP

Automated Recovery on Single Servers

Utilizing the established Single Server Protection (SSP) technology from the LifeKeeper v10 Single Server solution developed by SIOS Technology, the PowerGres SSP allows for automatic recovery in case of database failures. This feature significantly reduces the manual effort required in recovery operations while also minimizing system downtime, which is crucial for businesses that depend on constant database availability.

Tailored for Small to Medium-Sized Systems

While high availability (HA) clusters are the norm for systems requiring maximum uptime, the PowerGres SSP offers a solution that is ideal for smaller enterprises. Many businesses hesitate to adopt HA cluster configurations due to the high costs associated with maintaining standby servers. PowerGres SSP overcomes this barrier by enhancing availability without escalating costs, making it a practical choice for companies looking to optimize their database environments.

Comprehensive One-Stop Support

SRA OSS provides extensive support for both PowerGres and LifeKeeper v10 Single Server, ensuring that clients receive assistance throughout the installation and operational phases. The unified support approach allows customers to address any issues without the complexity of differentiating between software solutions, streamlining the troubleshooting process significantly.
