The Forest Service has traditionally used Oracle database schemas to store mission-critical ESRI geodatabases, which individual Forest Service units rely heavily on to do their daily work. When ESRI stopped supporting this way of managing geodatabases several years ago, it became necessary to migrate these workloads to a fully supported platform, with minimal impact to the business and at the lowest possible cost.
Indiana’s Office of Technology Services faced increasing workloads and needed to migrate to a more robust and scalable system that could handle larger amounts of data. Using Postgres met the agency’s security and scalability objectives while keeping costs down. With help from EDB’s Remote DBA Service, OTS was able to expedite deployment and optimize the performance of its Postgres solution.
