Internet Initiative Japan Inc. ( IIJ ) announced on the 15th that it will begin offering PostgreSQL as part of its cloud-based database service, the “IIJ Managed Database Service.” Based on the open-source software (OSS) PostgreSQL, the service offers fully managed database functionality with enhanced security, reliability, and support for enterprises. IIJ Managed Database Service is a fully managed cloud database service that provides easy access to high-performance databases.
While the service previously offered Oracle Database and Microsoft SQL Server , it now also offers the enterprise version of PostgreSQL. The service facilitates migration from on-premises PostgreSQL, allows users to continue using PostgreSQL database functions after migration, and offers lower licensing costs compared to standard commercial products. Furthermore, the service meets data security requirements for cloud computing with features such as transparent data encryption, policy-based login security management, separate audit log storage, and confidentiality management that simplifies access management. Pricing starts at 70,000 yen (excluding tax) per month for a PostgreSQL (2vCPU/6GB) configuration.
