EnterpriseDB Announces Strategic Investment by Red Hat

Companies will work together to increase enterprise adoption of open source IT
infrastructure.

WESTFORD, Mass., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- EnterpriseDB, the enterprise Postgres
company today announced that Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, has made a financial investment in EnterpriseDB as part of a
partnership aimed at increasing enterprise adoption of open source IT
infrastructure.

"EnterpriseDB has clearly established itself as a leading enterprise Postgres
company, which is why Red Hat has chosen to partner with and invest in the
company. EnterpriseDB is also working to create customer value through a
subscription support model. Clearly, this is a model we see as beneficial,"
said Jim Whitehurst, CEO of Red Hat.

EnterpriseDB helps enterprise IT organizations realize the cost benefits of
open source database use, by providing a full range of products and services
to ensure the successful development, deployment and production use of
PostgreSQL. EnterpriseDB's Postgres Plus products are the company's certified
and tested distributions of PostgreSQL, which include value-add enterprise
components, installers and professional documentation.

With this new partnership, EnterpriseDB and Red Hat will continue to promote
open source infrastructure solutions that emphasize the advantages of using
Red Hat Enterprise Linux, JBoss and Postgres Plus to deliver significantly
lower total-cost-of-ownership. With EnterpriseDB's services, many large
enterprises are already relying on Postgres Plus to support corporate
developers, DBAs and architects in running key applications.

"Red Hat pioneered the adoption of open source in the enterprise with
Enterprise Linux and JBoss middleware. We believe the database will be the
next major area of open source adoption," said Ed Boyajian, president and CEO,
EnterpriseDB. "Our partnership with Red Hat will accelerate the vision we
share -- worldwide enterprise adoption of open source IT infrastructure as an
alternative to proprietary solutions."
