Q&A Introduction to Ingres Simon Cattlin Senior Vice President NEMEA Sales & Services With businesses of all sizes looking to slash their IT budgets over the next few years, the revolutionary open source products from Ingres look set for a huge boom in popularity, as Simon Cattlin reveals Ingres is a name that many people are likely to be familiar with already, but can you tell us a little more about the company and its products? The Ingres Database is a commercially supported, open source database management system that significantly reduces IT costs and time to value. It also provides exceptional performance, availability, scalability, security and extensive manageability features. We provide dedicated, professional support on a 24/7 basis to our enterprise customers, system integrators and ISVs in 20 languages and across more than 50 countries. In addition, we offer our customers a wide variety of support options, ranging from online access to on-site support. Major enterprises and government institutions utilise Ingres Database to run mission-critical applications. Approximately 10,000 customers around the world recognise the value of working within an open source methodology, supported by business-class professional services. Youre the second largest open source company in the world, behind Red Hat. Can you explain about your recent partnership with them and the Ingres development stack for JBoss? We naturally have a close relationship with Red Hat, due to our standing in the market, and as a part of the open source community. We have a number of joint customers around the world and our recent announcement demonstrates our interoperability and ability to provide an open source alternative to businesses throughout the technology stack. The Ingres Development Stack for JBoss is the first ever fully pre-assembled bundle that combines Ingres Database with Red Hats Its a revolution where superior technology delivers new and better ways of doing business JBoss Developer Studio and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. The stack creates a rich environment where Java developers can build data-centric applications, together with the middleware and database required to support these applications in the enterprise. Weve seen your New Economics of IT campaign whats the aim of this? The New Economics of IT is a revolution in the way in which companies are investing in software to enable and differentiate their business. Today more than ever, businesses need to be lean and utilize their limited assets as effectively as possible. The deployment and use of software is no exception, yet traditional methods of investment are expensive, outdated, damaging, and frankly dont exist in any other industry. But you do have a choice. It is the choice of how you pay for essentially the same thing. One vendor is going to charge you less than 1/10 of the other and wont tie up all your cash up front. The other locks you in to expensive license deals and will raise prices, even when times are tough. Keep in mind - Oracle increased prices 20 and SAP 5 just last year. Ingres is a leader in the New Economics of IT. Ingres is time-tested technology which has proven itself over and over again. Ingres meets the stringent requirement of todays most demanding developers and enterprise customers. Ingres is the choice to remain free of more costly, proprietary databases. Ingres is: * Easy to try * Works within existing environments * Rapid Development time * High end performance at a lower cost Finally, can you briefly tell us why a reseller should consider Ingres? Nearly all major organisations are significantly streamlining their IT budgets for 2010 and the Business Open Source model is hugely attractive as a delivery platform for new or migrating applications, given that its OpEx rather than CapEx driven. The pay as you go and only for what you use model, when combined with enterprise- class technologies, is a much lower barrier to entry for entrepreneurial resellers looking to help their clients.
