Database Storage

Efficient Database Storage is Critical for Business Agility

The highly complex nature of computing environments within a distributed enterprise requires quick and efficient access to data. Enterprise users must be able to access data anywhere and at anytime. Customers want near instantaneous response, or they'll quickly jump to a competitor who can provide it. Partners and suppliers need fast access to data in order to provide the value the enterprise is counting on. Consequently, database storage capabilities and functionality are a critical component of enterprise agility and competitiveness. Because enterprise infrastructures must change and evolve to meet new business requirements, database storage environments must scale easily, run on multiple operating platforms, support mission-critical transactional processing, and deliver open interfaces for seamless integration. For leading database storage solutions, enterprises around the world rely on Progress Software.
