Percona, a provider of open source database software and services, is partnering with HexaCluster, a PostgreSQL migration and services specialist, to help organizations move off proprietary and legacy commercial databases.
According to the companies, the partnership focuses on helping enterprises migrate to open source solutions, alleviating issues such as renewal pricing and vendor lock-in.
Further, this partnership gives organizations an assessment-led path to open source databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB Community, with a plan to run those databases reliably after the move.
"This partnership expands our portfolio to help organizations address steep proprietary database renewal costs and migration risks. Percona now simplifies the transition by leading assessment, planning, and automated heterogeneous migrations through a single team from evaluation to go-live. The result is lower-risk cost reduction without new vendor lock-in,” said Louis Hood, director of global partnerships and channel at Percona.
Percona scopes each migration, leads the assessment, and supports the databases in production once they're live. Then, HexaCluster contributes specialized migration tooling for complex, mixed-source, multi-target moves that take a proprietary or legacy engine onto an open source target.
For organizations weighing a move, the result is a clearer route off proprietary software, which leads to lower licensing and support spend, no new lock-in, and open source databases backed by people who maintain and support them every day, the companies said.
"We've spent years building Migration and Modernization tools that move complex workloads onto PostgreSQL,” said Avinash Vallarapu, CEO, HexaCluster. “Partnering with Percona puts that work in front of the organizations that need it most, backed by a team that supports these databases in production every day.”
Migration engagements are delivered through Percona Expert Consulting and Services. To start, organizations begin with a Percona-led assessment that confirms scope and source-to-target paths before any data moves. This reduces risk, highlights any necessary alterations, and helps keep business processes running as the customer wants them to operate. Percona's experience supporting some of the world's biggest database deployments can help all organizations to run their choice of database, on their choice of platform, and with a long-term route to more effective, less costly data infrastructure that grows with them.
