Submission + - DISA Publishes First STIG for Open Source-based Database

Submitted by RaDag on Friday July 15, 2016 @01:52PM

RaDag writes: The US government has published a DoD-validated implementation guide, known as a STIG, for EDB Postgres Advanced Server from EnterpriseDB (EDB).

This is a first. No other open source database, or open source-based database, has been through the US government’s security review process and gotten a STIG published.

Having this guide will help agencies seeking an open source-based alternative to costly traditional vendors like Oracle will speed and ease deployment of EDB Postgres, which has database compatibility for Oracle.

Submission + - PostgreSQL Outperforms MongoDB in Second Round of Tests

RaDag writes: PostgreSQL outperformed MongoDB, the leading document database and NoSQL-only solution provider, on larger workloads than initial performance benchmarks. Performance benchmarks conducted by EnterpriseDB, which released the framework for public scrutiny on GitHub, showed PostgreSQL outperformed MongoDB in selecting, loading and inserting complex document data in key workloads involving 50 million records. This ushers in a new developer reality with freedom to combine structured and unstructured data in a single database with ACID compliance and relational capabilities.
