The DBMS market, once thought to be an oligopoly, is experiencing some refreshing disruption - thanks to open source-based databases that are proving viable alternatives to traditional, more costly incumbents. Whether you're trying to control database costs or support new application development, there's never been a better time to reevaluate your database platform strategy.

But, how can you realistically compare alternatives like MySQL and EnterpriseDB against established database platforms like Oracle, DB2, and SQL Server?

Let your applications be your guide.

In this web cast, renowned industry guru Curt Monash provides an objective context in which to evaluate and select the right DBMS based on your application's needs. He'll discuss how all DBMS' features are not all created equal in the way they address application-specific demands. Particular focus will be given to the unique requirements of transaction-intensive applications.

Learn how to:
- Go beyond the typical feature checklists of self-proclaimed "enterprise-class" offerings to provide a more in-depth barometer of a DBMS' true capabilities
- Define the DBMS platform requirements for a variety of transaction-intensive applications
- Delineate between must-have and nice-to-have DBMS features for your application
- Understand how different approaches to administration, concurrency, security and availability can affect application performance
- Prioritize which applications are the best candidates to run on alternative DBMS'
Questions and requests for additional information will be addressed to help you with your installation.
