Case Study: Thales achieves ultra-high availability for CipherTrust with pgEdge Distributed Postgres

Thales achieves ultra-high availability with pgEdge, scaling to 20 nodes and near-zero downtime

Thales, a leader in cybersecurity, faced challenges with the reliability and flexibility of its existing database platform for the CipherTrust Data Security Platform. They needed a distributed solution capable of supporting customers who deploy across multiple locations and cloud platforms, requiring ultra-high availability and autonomous operation. This led them to seek a solution from vendor pgEdge.

pgEdge implemented its Distributed Postgres solution as an OEM for CipherTrust. This provided Thales with a highly available, distributed architecture featuring enhanced conflict management and the ability to add nodes with zero downtime. The results included achieving ultra-high availability, reducing upgrade downtime from hours to near-zero, and substantially increasing resilience. pgEdge's open-source solution also freed Thales from vendor lock-in, turning their database infrastructure into a competitive advantage.
