Come See the Open Source Database Leader on May
29th at AWS Summit Dubai 2024
Percona, a leader in enterprise-grade, open source database
software, support, and services, has entered 2024 fresh off a year
marked by sustained customer growth, multiple prestigious award
wins, and innovative product enhancements. The company's impressive
2023 has further solidified its standing as a go-to provider of
open source database solutions and support services.
Reaffirming its position as a global industry leader, Percona
has secured its place as a bronze sponsor at this year’s AWS Summit
Dubai, to be held at the Dubai World Trade Center on May 29th,
2024. To that end, Percona has strengthened its presence in the
region with a dedicated sales team, supporting both existing
customers and potential new clients. Interested attendees can visit
the Percona team at booth B12.
Having predicted the database market to clear $100 billion in
2023, Gartner forecasts the market to grow at a compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8% through 2027 and reach $203.6 billion.
This underscores the sustained demand for sophisticated database
management expertise to ensure optimal performance, security, and
reliability. Uniquely qualified to address these needs, Percona has
capitalized on the expanding opportunity, realizing a 19% increase
in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
Customer-Led Growth
Fueled by ongoing innovation and an unwavering commitment to
customer success, Percona has continued to broaden its customer
base — with both new customer acquisitions and expanded
relationships with existing customers contributing to its fully
organic growth.
One notable example, EveryMatrix, a prominent iGaming software
provider, has benefited from Percona's managed services expertise,
optimizing their database management for MySQL, MariaDB, and
PostgreSQL. This collaboration has resulted in enhanced database
performance, resilience, and security, empowering EveryMatrix to
focus on innovation and customer satisfaction within the highly
competitive online gaming industry.
Similarly, PagerDuty relies on Percona's support for MySQL,
ensuring reliable and high-performance database instances critical
to PagerDuty's operations. Percona's proactive assistance,
including end-of-life support for MySQL 5.7 and migration planning,
underscores its commitment to delivering exceptional support and
expertise to its clientele.
2023 also saw some of the world’s most recognizable brands
signing on with Percona or expanding the scope of their engagement.
Percona began supporting companies such as Netflix and the United
States Geological Survey. The company expanded its scope further by
partnering with Merchant Warrior, Otto Office, and Kontron, among
others.
Awards and Recognition
Percona’s track record as a leader in the open source database
community yielded several prestigious awards and acknowledgments in
2023.
Most recently, the company secured the title of "Best DevOps for
DataOps/Database Solution" at the Devops Dozen awards, illustrating
its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions tailored to
modern DevOps practices. Additionally, Percona's innovative
products have been featured among the trend-setting products in
data and information management for 2024 by DBTA (Database Trends
and Applications), further validating its position as an industry
trailblazer.
Moreover, Percona thought leaders like CEO Ann Schlemmer and
Technology Evangelist Dave Stokes have garnered attention in
publications such as Forbes, Computer Weekly, InfoWorld, The New
Stack, The Register, and more. In these thought pieces Percona’s
leaders have spearheaded discussions on data and open source,
shaping the discourse around emerging trends and best
practices.
Innovations and Enhancements
Percona continued to push the boundaries of database innovation
with the recent Beta release of Percona Everest, an open source
cloud-native database platform. Percona Everest is the first open
source solution that combines multi-cloud and multi-database
capabilities in one platform. With an intuitive user interface (UI)
and command-line interface (CLI), Percona Everest offers advanced
database provisioning and management features at no cost while
providing control over infrastructure expenses, eliminating vendor
lock-in.
Percona Everest allows users to enjoy flexible features such as
provisioning, scalability, performance optimization, and high
availability with full automation. By integrating with Kubernetes
Operators, Percona Everest empowers users to run databases
anywhere, liberating them from the constraints of public cloud
platforms.
In addition to the Beta release of Percona Everest, Percona
introduced numerous enhancements and updates to its product lineup
over the course of 2023, including:
- A complete post-EOL support program for MySQL 5.7, which
allows participating customers to continue to operate on a fully
supported Percona Server for MySQL 5.7 until upgrading to later
major versions becomes more convenient. Within this program,
Percona continues to release the CVE-patched versions of MySQL 5.7
to participating customers.
- Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) introduced MongoDB
backup monitoring capabilities, which provide users with a
streamlined backup and restore process and improved inventory
management.
Primed for Growth
Looking ahead, Percona is poised for continued expansion. The
company remains steadfast in its mission to make enterprise
databases run better through a unique blend of expertise and open
source software.
"As we reflect on our recent achievements and the strides we've
made in 2023, it's clear that all the attributes customers value in
a vendor – dedication to innovation, customer-centric solutions,
and fostering meaningful relationships – are moving Percona in the
right direction," said Ann Schlemmer, CEO of Percona. "We are proud
of each milestone we’ve reached and the incredible team that has
gotten us here, and we look forward to continuing our commitment to
driving progress."
Percona will continue to reaffirm its leadership position within
the open source database community by participating in a variety of
other key industry events throughout 2024, including KubeCon North
America and Open Source Summit North America. At these events, and
many others, Percona will continue to expand its impact on the open
source database community.
