Immediately after installation, Standard Server's powerful pre-bundled enterprise modules are ready to roll with little to no additional configuration.

EnterpriseDB eliminates the need to manually assemble and integrate critical software modules from a variety of web locations. We do the foot work for you in selecting the most critical and often used Postgres compatible enterprise modules, downloading them, compiling them, and integrating them into a common pre-configured binary installer. Standard Server comes with the following enterprise modules ready to run:

Client Connectors for JDBC, ODBC, .NET, ECPG, libpg
Connection Pooling for Enhanced performance (pgbouncer)
Distributed Memory Caching (pgmemcache in Linux only)
Slony-I Replication Support
PostGIS GeoSpatial Support
Advanced Encryption
Installation Tuning
Automatic Update Notification
MySQL Database Migration
Administration Job Scheduler (pgAgent)

Our work doesn't stop there though as we also thoroughly test the final package on multiple platforms assuring you of a consistent and quality product. Value added integration testing of the enterprise modules assures you that multiple Postgres related modules installed together operate as an enterprise ready database environment. Completing your open source infrastructure couldn't be easier!
