Databases
Databases represent the core of all IT infrastructures. In modern information technology, enormous amounts of data are continuously generated that must be stored securely and protected against attacks. No company can afford to handle data carelessly, especially when it involves personal data. Violations of security measures can result in substantial damage claims from customers and reputational losses that can pose an existential threat to many companies. It is not always attacks on the IT infrastructure, but also potential outages or operational errors that can lead to irreversible data loss.
Since databases represent the core of IT infrastructure and many applications and services are built upon them, every infrastructure stands or falls with the availability and robustness of the databases in operation.

In addition to these enormous challenges, the secure operation of a database presents many administrators with significant hurdles. Many databases are highly complex to administer and, through their functionality and flexibility in processing data, offer a multitude of configuration options designed to accommodate all use cases in the modern IT landscape.
For these reasons, it is advisable to partner with a strong ally such as credativ GmbH, which has supported many companies in setting up highly available databases and has significantly guided their operation, drawing on years of experience. The company’s origins actually lie in supporting databases such as PostgreSQL, as our company founder is not only a passionate open-source developer but was also involved in the development of PostgreSQL itself.
