Comprehensive PostgreSQL services and migration now also for STACKIT customers

credativ expands its offering:

Since our founding in 1999, we at credativ GmbH have been committed to the idea of free software and provide technical support for open-source software in enterprise use. Now we are combining the many years of expertise of our PostgreSQL® Competence Center with STACKIT, the powerful cloud provider from Schwarz Digits: From now on, we also offer our proven PostgreSQL services tailored specifically for STACKIT customers.

Whether you are planning to move to the cloud or already operate instances on the STACKIT platform – our expert team supports you with over 25 years of PostgreSQL experience.

Smooth migration to PostgreSQL on STACKIT

Switching from a proprietary database management system (such as Oracle, DB2, Informix or MS SQL Server) to PostgreSQL requires precise planning. Our new service “Migration to PostgreSQL on STACKIT” supports you with a secure, predictable and high-performance migration. We rely not only on our team’s experience, but also on our in-house developed and continuously maintained open-source tool credativ-pg-migrator and, if required, can fall back on the commercial analysis software for Oracle databases, Cortex, which our partner Splendid Data has in its portfolio.

Our services include, among other things:

• Inventory and analysis of dependencies in the existing database.
• Preparation of the target environment on STACKIT.
• Detailed migration planning including a downtime concept to control and minimize outages.
• Execution of the migration and subsequent optimization.

Consulting, workshops and 24/7 support

For customers who already rely on STACKIT or want to make optimal use of their new instances, we offer comprehensive consulting and support. We help with the initial setup, planning instance sizes, permissions management and application connectivity.

We also won’t leave you alone during ongoing operations: We analyze and optimize your existing STACKIT instances and work with you in dedicated workshops to develop solutions for query optimization or runtime configuration. Should problems arise in your production environment, we respond quickly – optionally also with our guaranteed 24/7 support.

Cross-platform consulting by certified experts

Our specialists are long-standing members and active developers in the international PostgreSQL community. We also support you across platforms with hybrid approaches, such as connecting or migrating your on-premise instances to the STACKIT cloud. As a German IT services company certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 9001, we meet the highest requirements for quality and data protection.
