Bitnine Recruiting Partners for 'AgensSQL'... "Business Expansion"

Bitnine announced on the 11th that it is recruiting partners to expand its enterprise-grade DBMS (Database Management System) product 'AgensSQL,' based on PostgreSQL.

The recruitment fields include distributors, SI (System Integration), resellers, technical support partners, and more. This is to build a PostgreSQL-based DBMS business ecosystem, which is currently the most spotlighted open-source DB, amid the accelerating trend of 'de-Oracle DB' and 'de-foreign DBMS.'

'AgensSQL' is a PostgreSQL-based relational DBMS developed by Bitnine. It overcomes the limitations of existing PostgreSQL-based DBMS products with enterprise-grade technical stability, security performance tailored to domestic requirements, and high Oracle compatibility. It also includes core DBMS functions such as data migration, high availability (HA), and management and monitoring tools.

The highest version, Enterprise Edition Plus (EE+), also supports advanced data analysis tools (Graph BI Solution). Through the embedded ‘Apache AGE,’ it enables the use of graph DB functions within a relational DBMS.

A Bitnine official stated, "The domestic product 'AgensSQL,' based on open-source PostgreSQL, is gaining very high preference among customers following recent trends of de-Oracle, open-source and cloud transition, and purpose-built DB (DB tailored to specific needs). It is a new DBMS product that best fits the global as well as domestic DB market trends."

In fact, Oracle's market share in the DBMS market is rapidly declining. According to 2023 statistics released by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, Oracle's market share has dropped by nearly 10% compared to five years ago. This share appears to have been taken by PostgreSQL and domestic companies. The main reasons for this ‘de-Oracle’ phenomenon are high adoption costs, maintenance fees, and burdensome licensing policies.

Additionally, 'de-foreign' has emerged as a major industry issue, and the role of domestic DBMS is becoming more prominent. Due to the nature of DBMS products, where rapid technical support is a key consideration, domestic companies have a significant advantage over foreign companies.

A company representative explained, "Due to the nature of foreign open-source DBMS vendors, technical support is limited and provided only through a few partner companies, which domestic DBMS companies have exploited to expand their market share. However, these domestic companies still show many limitations in enterprise-grade competitiveness and technical support levels as open-source DBMS products."

He added, "Bitnine plans to expand the domestic DBMS market with 'AgensSQL,' which, despite being open-source (PostgreSQL)-based, offers enterprise-grade product quality and 24x7x365 technical support services. We look forward to the interest of partner companies who will grow together with us."
