Squiz.net purchases Fujitsu’s PostgreSQL Plus licences and support

PostgreSQL Plus is a derivative of the PostgreSQL database which gives additional live backup processing that protects customer data and guarantees zero data loss in times of emergency. Fujitsu, as part of support, is committed to help Squiz.net improve their applications performance by working with Squiz.net to analyse the database usage for the application’s use. Analysis of the application’s SQL interaction will highlight bottlenecks and allow tuning of the SQL and database structure to enhance performance.

Since Interstage Application Server V9.1, Fujitsu has started using Sun's Open Source GlassFish Java EE container to provide a Java EE 5 container implementation resulting in lower development costs. As Sun has always been the first to release implementations of the latest Java EE technologies in its application server, the use of GlassFish as the base of Interstage's Java EE compliant container will allow Fujitsu to introduce the latest Java EE technologies to its customers within a quicker timeframe.

FAST participates in the GlassFish related OSS communities (in fact, one member has been granted "committer" privilege for the Glassfish project) and collaborates with the developers to make sure quality and other issues encountered by Fujitsu are applied in GlassFish too. FAST also actively follows the current development of GlassFish, and participates in community discussions and feature reviews. FAST's experience with new technologies, OSS development and Fujitsu's development process enables it to provide liaison between Interstage developers and the GlassFish communities. This allows FAST to ease the transition from a proprietary developed product in a saturated market to an innovative cost-effective standards-compliant OSS based product.
