EnterpriseDB Releases Postgres Enterprise Manager v2.1

Driven by Larger Enterprises, Installations of EnterpriseDB’s Postgres
Enterprise Manager Top 2,000

Surging demand drives EnterpriseDB to release a new version with SNMP
and email alerts, an Audit Manager and user access controls,
dramatically expanding the
enterprise-class feature set.

BEDFORD, Mass. – April 12, 2012 – EnterpriseDB, the leading worldwide
provider of PostgreSQL and Oracle database compatibility products and
services, today announced the growing interest in Postgres among
larger enterprises has driven the number of installations of its
Postgres Enterprise Manager to more than 2,000 in just six months. In
response to the outpouring of interest and demand, EnterpriseDB has
released Postgres Enterprise Manager 2.1 with a collection of new
features designed to further address the more complex needs of
managers with very large-scale Postgres deployments.

PEM 2.1 adds a series of highly configurable dashboards, new features
for scheduling and organizing management tasks and enhanced alerting
capabilities. The new version further eases the management of
large-scale PostgreSQL deployments by giving managers the ability to
control user access on a per-server basis.

Postgres Enterprise Manager (PEM) was released in August to equip
users with an enterprise-class tool designed for managing large-scale
deployments of PostgreSQL or Postgres Plus Advanced Server. The tool
provides database administrators with a single console to monitor,
manage and tune multiple Postgres installments simultaneously.

“More big companies are coming to us as the reliability and
performance of Postgres achieves greater recognition among the Fortune
500. We’re keeping pace by making the tools that these power users
need to manage vast deployments,” Ed Boyajian, president and CEO of
EnterpriseDB, said. “Combining end user feedback and input from the
developer community, we developed Postgres Enterprise Manager 2.1 to
give users greater insight into their installations and greater
flexibility to manage them. And we will continue to innovate in
keeping with our mission to provide the enterprise with a powerful
database to rival traditional, proprietary databases but at a fraction
of the price.”

“We've recently worked with clients who have deployed Postgres
Enterprise Manager to manage their large, multi-instance deployments
of Postgres,” Joseph Conway, president and CEO of credativ Group LLC,
said. “PEM is an excellent visual tool that greatly simplifies the
management, monitoring and tuning of these instances, and clients have
reported hey've achieved significant time savings in a very short
amount of time.”

Enhanced Alerts, New Dashboards and More

Postgres Enterprise Manager 2.1 – the only integrated management tool
of its kind for PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus Advanced Server –
includes the following
enterprise-class enhancements:

* SMTP and SNMP Alerting – The management tool may now be configured
to send alerts over regular email, using Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(SMTP), or through complementary software solutions, using Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). PEM 2.1 further enables end users
to designate the delivery mechanism on a per-alert basis and includes
“flap detection” so users aren’t flooded with unnecessary alert
messages. PEM 2.1 also significantly expands the ability to configure
alert definitions.

* Audit Manager – End users now have the power to perform bulk
configurations of audit features on the servers hosting Postgres Plus
Advanced Server. They can schedule when the database gathers log
information, which is stored centrally. Further, users can review the
logs using a new dashboard that is visually comparable to social
networking tools and loads the log files on-demand as the end user
scrolls.

* Role-based User Designations – Administrators now have the power to
define or limit visibility of specific servers using role-defined
controls. Enhancing flexibility and easing overall administration,
this ability gives administrators the mechanisms they need to
efficiently use Postgres Enterprise Manager in multi-team
environments.

* Expanded Dashboards – The dashboards now use Ajax to load charts and
graphs and therefore can auto-refresh on a configurable, per-item
interval. End users will find enhanced navigation within the
dashboards, and expanded tables in other dashboards. Users may also
configure alerts directly from the dashboards by clicking on the alert
name.

* High-Availability Support – Administrators may link Postgres
Enterprise Manager to high-availability systems so that server
monitoring can be moved automatically to the standby host in the event
that a server is failed over.

* SQL Profiler – Feature enhancements allow filtering on any field
giving users insight into server activity and helping diagnose and fix
poorly performing SQL statements.

* Server and Agent Installers – The server installer enables the end
user to install PEM database server and web services on different
machines; the agent installer has been enhanced to allow users to
specify alternate locations for storing certificates used for
authentication.
