ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quest Software, a prominent player in systems management, data protection, and security software, has unveiled two significant updates aimed at enhancing the enterprise adoption of PostgreSQL. These innovations are designed to facilitate seamless migrations to PostgreSQL while optimizing its performance and availability, allowing organizations to confidently embrace modern database platforms with reduced risk and operational costs.
Innovative Solutions for PostgreSQL
The newly introduced solutions include:
- Foglight® with the Performance Investigator for PostgreSQL add-on: This monitoring and optimization platform offers database observability tailored for contemporary data applications.
- SharePlex®: A robust data replication and migration tool that now supports synchronization among PostgreSQL 17.0, Oracle 23ai, MariaDB 11.4.2, Google AlloyDB, and Google AlloyDB Omni.
As PostgreSQL continues to gain traction within various organizations, it serves as a foundational element for big data, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation initiatives. Quest’s solutions are crafted to accelerate PostgreSQL deployment while ensuring database security and enhancing application performance.
Bharath Vasudevan, vice president of product management at Quest Software, emphasized the importance of these offerings, stating, “With our new offerings timed with the release of PostgreSQL 17.0, Quest is committed to empowering organizations to leverage PostgreSQL effectively, maximizing performance and simplifying data migration to unlock the full value of their data.” He further noted that the tools are designed to address critical gaps, equipping enterprises with the advanced capabilities necessary to thrive in an era dominated by big data, AI, and large language models (LLMs).
Addressing PostgreSQL Performance Challenges
Historically, deep workload analysis within PostgreSQL environments has posed significant challenges, often resulting in performance blind spots. The Foglight Performance Investigator for PostgreSQL add-on directly tackles these issues by providing advanced workload analysis, identifying inefficient queries, and resolving resource bottlenecks and locking problems. This solution enhances broader application performance monitoring (APM) efforts for data-intensive projects, enabling database administrators (DBAs) to maintain optimal performance, avoid costly downtime, and ensure seamless application experiences.
Foglight not only improves visibility into PostgreSQL but also facilitates cross-database monitoring, offering enterprises a unified view across diverse environments. This holistic approach is essential for organizations managing complex data architectures in today’s multi-cloud and hybrid IT landscapes.
Streamlined Data Migration for PostgreSQL
The migration process to PostgreSQL can often be fraught with challenges, including data discrepancies and potential downtime. SharePlex, recently recognized as a trendsetting product for 2025 by DBTA, ensures that both one-off data migrations and continuous replication occur smoothly with minimal disruption.
The latest iteration of SharePlex now supports data replication and synchronization for PostgreSQL 17.0, Oracle 23ai, MariaDB 11.4.2, Google AlloyDB, and Google AlloyDB Omni. This capability enables organizations to migrate data between platforms in real-time, ensuring accuracy and business continuity.
Additionally, the new Compare and Repair features, included in the base SharePlex license, further mitigate risks by identifying and resolving discrepancies between data sources during migration. Organizations can run PostgreSQL alongside legacy systems, facilitating safe testing and phased migrations without interrupting critical business operations.
