Altibase is the most reliable DBMS. Altibase has been deployed exclusively for over 8,000 mission-critical applications where mere minutes of downtime can translate into millions of dollars in losses and lead to serious litigation and financial risks.

Altibase has an over 90% customer retention rate.
Enterprise customers are almost always the most discerning customers. While some companies are often willing to assume some risks by adopting the latest and sometimes unproven technologies, enterprise clients tend to take a much more calculated approach to adoption. Particularly those with mission-critical systems need the security and peace of mind provided by strict SLAs, technical support availability, and responsiveness.
The cost savings from the use of open source DBMSs do not always justify the downtime or compliance risks. In addition, the ability to interoperate with other core systems is a significant cause for concern. Enterprise clients demand the following:
High-quality standards and stability
Strong functionality and ability to interoperate with other systems
Ability to scale effectively with demanding and/or very large workloads
Robust disaster recovery and high availability features
High-quality documentation and 24/7 technical support availability
Quality reference customers
Experience with Fortune 500 companies
For these reasons, the vast majority of enterprises are still unwilling to risk their most mission-critical systems on open source products with questionable product stability and support.
This situation has left enterprises without any attractive and/or viable options for decades. Stay with legacy databases and pay exorbitant costs for stability, accountability, and support. Or switch to open source databases and take the risk of being hung out to dry during a disaster situation.
This is where Altibase should come into play. All things considered, Altibase is an attractive and viable choice. Altibase is an open source but is enterprise grade. Altibase has 27 years of experience in servicing over 700 enterprise customers including 22 of Fortune Global 500.
Altibase combines cost efficiency with the reliability and accountability required for mission-critical enterprise systems.
Altibase has competed with various open source databases. The following case studies include related stories.
