Sydney, October 21, 2010
Fujitsu Australia Software Technology (FAST) has today announced the extension of its global support offerings by partnering with 2ndQuadrant to offer ‘Follow the Sun’ 24x7 global remote support options for PostgreSQL.
This strategic partnership between FAST and 2ndQuadrant will significantly enhance customer support and will provide a unique level of service and a truly global solution, unlike any other production support available for PostgreSQL. With 2ndQuadrant located in the US and Europe, and FAST located in Australia, PostgreSQL support consultants can now provide cost-effective, global remote support, from their geographical areas, during their optimum ‘daylight’ efficiency period, 24x7, across the globe.
Partnering to offer world-class technical expertise to large and growing Enterprises across the world, Fujitsu and 2ndQuadrant’s new service offers one of the world’s most valuable 24 hour support offering available, giving customers minimal downtime to their production systems.
By providing ‘Follow the Sun’ PostgreSQL remote support, each organisation is able to co-operatively offer the best possible support, anywhere, anytime and at the most cost-effective rate.
Both FAST and 2ndQuadrant are strongly committed to PostgreSQL open source development, being contributors for over 15 years. The companies offer similar and complementary services in the PostgreSQL support, training and consultancy spaces, which has proven to be an ideal basis to provide co-operative PostgreSQL support options.
“Fujitsu is honoured to partner with 2ndQuadrant on this unique offering,” states Bala Varadarajan, Managing Director of Fujitsu Australia Software Technology. “This service is our first partnership support offering available from a series of cooperative support offerings being developed between the two companies. We are pleased to be partnering on further innovative collaborations, being announced in the near future.”
"We have been using FAST for our PostgreSQL support now for a number of years. They have definitely helped our business by their consultancy, recommendations and the support maintenance of our mission critical database, by keeping it running reliably and performing to our satisfaction" stated Dan Austin of Westfield, Sydney.
