Database management is hard. Not only must your database platform team work to provide consistent and reliable performance, availability, and security, but they also need to meet your developers’ ever-increasing demands to move faster. This strain has led to an environment of increasing complexity, in which you and your teams are tasked with managing hundreds or thousands of siloed databases and their supporting technologies. 

Then, of course, there’s the problem of vendor lock-in. Too often, you’re forced into non-portable platforms or environments, where it’s difficult to reclaim your data, massive and oppressive annual support obligations swell, and vendors are more than happy to hold you hostage over proprietary features. It can seem there’s little way out of the spiral. 

Fortunately, there’s a better way. 

Introducing Percona Platform

Percona is different. Since day one, we’ve stood for Keeping Open Source Open. Whatever your environment, any cloud or on-premises, and whatever “enterprise” features you need, we offer ultimate freedom and flexibility. It’s what you’d expect from a company committed to the ideals of free and open source software and why many of you have trusted us for years.

Today, we’re proud to announce that we’re bringing together many of your favorite Percona offerings into a new product called Percona Platform. 

Percona Platform combines our software and services into a subscription-based offering that gives you all the tools and expertise you need to succeed: Whether that’s our fully open, performance-optimized database servers, our Percona-curated distributions, which include best-of-breed solutions for high availability, security, and backup, or Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM).  And we’re backing it up with our world-class services, delivered however you need them — whether that’s support for self-managed installations, or providing you with fully managed database environments.

Take a look at everything included:

This commitment to giving our customers greater control of availability and access to their data and saving them time on managing databases is why RedMonk wrote: 

“There has been an explosion of data tools available to enterprises, which in turn has led to rampant fragmentation and highly complex, disjointed workflows. Organizations that prize velocity are looking for ways to integrate various data tools into their broader development workflows and monitor them.  This is the opportunity that Percona Platform is built for. The combination of software and services in this space is intended to help customers better manage their database deployments.” –   Rachel Stephens, Sr. Analyst, RedMonk

But you really don’t have to look any further than our customers, who love the combination of Percona software and services. It’s why more than two-thirds of our Support customers run Percona Software, and 58% of our Managed Services customers choose to run Percona databases in addition to their Percona Software.

Here’s what some of them had to say: 

“Percona’s drop-in database software replacement was a big factor as migrations can be tricky! … We have more control with Percona.” – Carpages.ca

“Percona has the best engineers in the world.” –  Appsuite 

“Percona have provided us with the best solutions and identified opportunities for improvement in many areas of MySQL, Postgres, and MongoDB.” – Solera

Percona Platform is designed based on decades of experience from Percona experts, and its production-ready database software is battle-tested in mission-critical environments with the most demanding scale and performance needs.
