Ingres in the Cloud
Cloud computing is maturing at a rapid pace. The industry is at the cusp of a transition to more widespread adoption by pragmatists who view this as the most cost-effective alternative for them. Open source underpins many of the leading current implementations because it allows for faster innovation and superior economics. Ingres is uniquely positioned to help open source move up in the stack of cloud applications to include databases.
"As cloud infrastructure with DBMSs gains maturity, especially in scalability, reliability and security, cloud implementations used for short-term projects, small departmental applications and rapid development platforms will show marked cost reductions compared with implementations within the IT department." - Gartner,
"Hype Cycle for Cloud Computing 2009"
