Meet ITG’s Open Source Tech Partners: Leaders in Open Source Technology and Enterprise Solution
September 26, 2024 | Blog
In today’s digital world, open source technology drives innovation and accessibility. With open source, everyone has instant access to vital software tools—just one click to search, browse, and deploy. While openness is sometimes linked with vulnerability, open source tech actually enhances transparency and security in software development.
Earlier this year, IT Group, Inc. (ITG), a leading IT solution partner in the Philippines and ASEAN region, celebrated with key open source tech players Red Hat and EnterpriseDB (EDB) the origins and ongoing impact of disruptive open source philosophy. Richard Stallman, the visionary behind Free and Open Source Principles, revolutionized the tech industry by fostering a community where developers share and improve software collaboratively, making open source mainstream.
Open Source Data Management with EnterpriseDB and ITG
EnterpriseDB (EDB) is a trusted leader in open source data management systems, delivering enterprise-class solutions based on the PostgreSQL open source database. ITG aligns closely with EDB’s core values by offering integrated enterprise data management platforms that accommodate diverse workloads and enable seamless data integration across legacy and modern systems.
As ITG states, the EDB Postgres™ platform “creates a cohesive data management fabric that integrates unstructured NoSQL data with transactional, structured data in relational databases.” Such robust database management tools empower businesses managing large data volumes to improve reliability, availability, and scalability.
What is Open Source Technology? Empowering Digital Transformation
Organizations across industries rely on open source technology to fuel their digital transformation and business innovation. Popular open source tools like Linux, PostgreSQL, Nginx, Python, OpenJDK, WordPress, and container platforms form the foundation of modern enterprise IT infrastructures.
Ryan Ching, ITG’s Head of Enterprise IT Infrastructure Solutions, summarizes open source’s security benefits well: “Open [and transparent] code invites scrutiny from many eyes, speeding corrections, enhancing software development, and delivering more secure IT solutions.”
