DataStrike, a prominent player in the realm of data infrastructure managed services, has recently announced a remarkable 600% increase in its open-source database management business over just six months. This surge is largely attributed to the growing enterprise adoption of PostgreSQL, a powerful open-source database system. In response to this rapid expansion, DataStrike has doubled its team of database management professionals, emphasizing the recruitment of PostgreSQL-certified experts. This strategic move positions the company as a preferred partner for organizations seeking robust open-source database solutions.
Growing Demand for PostgreSQL
The increasing popularity of PostgreSQL reflects a broader trend as organizations transition from legacy systems to more adaptable, open-source architectures. According to the 2023 Stack Overflow survey, PostgreSQL has overtaken MySQL to become the most utilized database among professional developers, with 49% reporting extensive development experience. Furthermore, the latest State of PostgreSQL report indicates that 51% of respondents have seen an increase in PostgreSQL usage within their organizations over the past year.
Rob Brown, president and COO of DataStrike, remarked on the growing demand for their database management services, particularly in relation to open-source platforms like PostgreSQL. He noted, “Organizations are increasingly aware that they lack the in-house resources to effectively manage these complex projects. That’s where DataStrike comes in—we deliver comprehensive, flexible solutions that help clients unlock the full value of their data, all without the overhead of hiring full-time staff, and through one streamlined, cost-efficient agreement.”
Comprehensive Database Management Solutions
DataStrike’s database administration (DBA) services offer round-the-clock, U.S.-based support for PostgreSQL and other leading platforms, including Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS Redshift, and SAP Hana. By leveraging a fractional support model, the company aids clients in navigating increasingly complex data environments with agility and cost efficiency. Whether it involves a full-scale database migration, performance tuning, or long-term optimization, DataStrike provides end-to-end expertise under a single, streamlined agreement.
A recent DataStrike survey of nearly 200 IT leaders revealed that 54% feel they lack the necessary resources and tools to meet the growing demands in data infrastructure management. Nearly half (49%) of IT teams are responsible for managing multiple database platforms, with most operating across an average of two cloud environments. These findings highlight a significant shift toward outsourcing, as many organizations seek managed service providers (MSPs) to fill expertise gaps and mitigate overhead costs.
DataStrike stands as a beacon for companies looking to maximize their database, cloud, and business intelligence managed services. With a commitment to innovation and practical guidance, DataStrike continues to empower small- to mid-sized businesses to harness IT changes as a catalyst for growth. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, the company serves over 200 clients across North America.
