Open Source Databases Surpass Proprietary Databases in Popularity
According to a 2021 ranking by DB-Engines, open source databases have now surpassed proprietary databases in popularity1. There are many factors leading to the increase in popularity including license and support cost savings, avoiding license compliance issues and flexibility of deployment.
Rimini Street Fills Need for Enterprise-Class Open Source Database Services
While the open source database market is increasing in popularity it is also creating new challenges for CIO’s and their IT teams, specifically with the traditional open source support model which includes reliance on self-support, trial and error operational models and community support, which do not provide sufficient support for mission-critical operational requirements.
Self-support often means learn as you go, as database administrator skills are not readily transferable between different platforms. Open source community support lacks the rapid and reliable, 24/7/365 response IT departments’ need to resolve critical issues, as well as the depth of experience with enterprise applications for performance tuning, security, virtualization, system diagnostics and high availability requirements. Rimini Street’s services for open source databases addresses these challenges by delivering the level of support missing with self-support, community support and support from a vendor who may not have Rimini Street’s extensive and comprehensive enterprise-class engineering staff and global, 24x7x365 mission-critical “turnkey” delivery capability.
“Community and self-support options are not sufficient for IT departments who want to expand use of open source and also meet the service level requirements of their business,” said R ‘Ray’ Wang, principal analyst and founder,

Complementing Rimini Street’s unified service for databases, the Company also offers migration advisory and full database migration services to help organizations smoothly and methodically diversify their database landscape to leverage open source platforms where possible to optimize cost and operational benefits.
