Continuent Announces New uni/cluster 2008 for PostgreSQL and EnterpriseDB

Advanced Database Replication and High Availability for  Business-Critical PostgreSQL and
EnterpriseDB Postgres Plus Database Applications


San Jose, CA  May 1, 2008  Continuent, Inc., the leading provider of commercial open source
middleware solutions for database high availability, today announced Continuent uni/cluster 2008.
This newest version of Continuent's uni/cluster software provides the highest levels of
availability and scalability for database applications built using PostgreSQL and EnterpriseDB
Postgres Plus databases.

Continuent uni/cluster offers a multi-master approach to replication. Data is committed and
available to all nodes in the cluster simultaneously, effectively eliminating data latency and
providing increased reliability through redundancy. Continuent uni/cluster includes a build-in load
balancer, which allows any database server to be used to process user queries, providing
near-linear scalability, and optimal resource utilization, throughput and response time.

New features in Continuent uni/cluster 2008 include: 
	Simplified installation and configuration, 
	Faster performance by supporting for more than two cluster controllers,
	Better management tools with new platform-independent Adobe® AIR-based GUI, and
	SUN Solaris? support and Red Hat® 5 certification.

"I'm very glad to see uni/cluster now available on Solaris," said Josh Berkus, the leader of Sun
Microsystems' PostgreSQL team.  "High availability is often the highest priority of our PostgreSQL
for Solaris customers, and the new Uni/Cluster gives them another powerful tool for 99.999%
uptime."

"We are pleased to have Continuent in our new Blade Partner Program",
said Bob Zurek, CTO of
EnterpriseDB.  Built-in failover and redundancy are essential in today's scale-out data centers
that run Web 2.0 applications and demand unparalleled availability and scalability.

"With Continuent uni/cluster 2008, organizations have insurance against outgrowing the capacity of
their system," said Eero Teerikorpi, CEO of Continuent.  "They can add new database servers on the
fly and take advantage of uni/cluster load balancing, where database activity is directed to the
least busy server.  This can be vital to maintaining continuous data availability for maximum
productivity and meet customer expectations."
