Magaya enhances performance with Tessell’s PostgreSQL

Magaya Corporation enhanced its database infrastructure by using Tessell's managed PostgreSQL solution, improving database performance and operational efficiency. After being acquired by a private equity firm in 2023, Magaya migrated customers from the Classic system to the Blue Ivory platform but faced initial performance issues with Blue Ivory's database. The original PostgreSQL setup was not optimized for high-volume queries, leading to bottlenecks, and reliance on a single PostgreSQL expert posed operational risks. Tessell's managed PostgreSQL platform transformed Blue Ivory, achieving a tenfold improvement in query execution speeds and enhancing logistics operations to handle tens of thousands of rows per second. The migration to AWS was seamless, with optimizations in partitioning strategies, memory buffers, and disk I/O. Tessell provided 24/7 expert support, reducing dependency on a single in-house DBA. The optimizations prepared Magaya's Blue Ivory platform for sustainable growth, enabling quicker customer onboarding and smoother migrations, and allowing support for both multi-tenant and single-tenant deployments. This transition to a cloud-native solution met ROI expectations for private equity investors, enhancing growth and profitability. The partnership with Tessell modernized Magaya's database infrastructure and strengthened its position in the logistics and supply chain technology sector.

The clock is ticking: Why businesses must prepare for Windows 11 now

As of October 2025, Windows 10 will reach its end-of-support, posing risks for Australian businesses that still rely on it, with nearly 47% of the desktop OS market share. The Australian Cyber Security Centre warns that outdated systems will be more vulnerable to cyber-attacks, and businesses will no longer receive security updates, increasing the risk of data breaches, which currently average over AUD 1 million per incident. Compliance with regulations like the Australian Privacy Principles requires the use of secure and up-to-date technology. Windows 11 offers enhanced security features and productivity tools, making it essential for businesses adopting hybrid work models and integrating advanced technologies. HP is actively preparing businesses for this transition by optimizing its products for Windows 11, providing tailored solutions to ease the upgrade process. Additionally, the Australian Government has introduced a Technology Investment Boost for SMEs, allowing them to deduct 20% of costs related to digital adoption, and has committed AUD 1.2 billion to the Digital Economy Strategy to enhance digital infrastructure and skills.
