Blog: Pete Loshin« What Open Source Company is Next for Oracle? Not MySQL. | Main | How'd Miller Track Down My REAL Email Address? » Greenplum Takes Next Commercial Open Source StepThe first wave of commercial open source companies depend on value-added support, services and packaging to generate profits; Greenplum is taking a new approach: offer a world-class open source project, the Bizgres Project as an entry point for a commercial enterprise-class version, Bizgres MPP. Today they opened a new portal, The Bizgres Network, to make it simpler than ever to get started using and developing BI apps with Bizgres. In addition to binary downloads of their enterprise-class, multi-terabyte Bizgres MPP, the portal provides access to a knowledge base and other support facilities. Greenplum's strategy is to get users started with open source Bizgres (based on PostgreSQL), or a 30-day trial of Bizgres MPP. Both versions of Bizgres work on commodity hardware, so scaling apps up is easy and inexpensive, and open source Bizgres apps are up-compatible to Bizgres MPP.
