PostgreSQL & PostGIS

PostgreSQL is the world's most powerful Open Source database. Sirius is Europe's leading provider of PostgreSQL consultancy services and up to 24/7 technical support.

We employ some of the PostgreSQL community's key contributors and provide support for some of the world's most complex PostgreSQL deployments. Our team can help you migrate your software applications to work with PostgreSQL and deliver a seamless solution for your mission-critical applications.

Our professional project management team will supervise the migration, implemention, support and maintenance of your PostgreSQL solution with full integration into existing systems and platforms.

PostgreSQL

  • Application architecture and analysis
  • Performance tuning
  • Easy stored procedure conversion
  • Excellent syntax compatibility
  • Transaction log shipping
  • Table spaces
  • Migration from Oracle and other RDBMS
  • Replication, high availability and failover

PostGIS

PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension.

Sirius is actively involved in the development of PostGIS.
