The Database Billion | ServicesANGLE

Excerpt from a Postgres market snapshot (written by the CEO of EnterpriseDB, a Postgres vendor, so definitely in the accentuate-the-positive category, but still a timely snapshot)
"The PostgreSQL database has already begun to benefit significantly from this perfect storm of circumstances. PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short, is the enterprise-class open source database used by some of the largest companies in the world to handle all types of workloads. Companies like VMware, Microsoft (through its acquisition of Skype), Apple and Facebook (through its acquisition of Instagram) are all PostgreSQL users. So too are the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Fujitsu, NTT, Sony-Ericsson, Sony Online Entertainment, the US State Department and Yahoo."
