“The financial wizards who successfully launched Red Hat,
the celebrated Linux vendor, are now targeting the lucrative
database market as the next fertile ground for capitalizing on
open-source development.“
“Frank Batten Jr.’s Landmark Communications, which took Red Hat
public last year, launched subsidiary Great Bridge LLC to market
commercial products and services supporting open-source database
PostgreSQL.”
“PostgreSQL has more than 1,000 developers worldwide and
competes with leading proprietary databases such as Oracle and
Microsoft SQL Server. Great Bridge’s launch coincides with the
release of PostgreSQL version 7.0, which adds performance
improvements, new querying capabilities, among other
enhancements.”
