DataSunrise Support for Babelfish
DataSunrise is a powerful security solution that operates at the network traffic level, providing comprehensive support for various complex and non-standard configurations. One such example is the support for Babelfish, a plugin for PostgreSQL that enables connectivity and query execution for applications designed to work with SQL Server.
Babelfish, developed by Amazon, is an innovative tool that allows PostgreSQL to understand the SQL Server wire protocol, effectively enabling applications to communicate with PostgreSQL as if it were SQL Server. This opens up a world of possibilities for organizations looking to migrate from SQL Server to PostgreSQL without modifying their existing applications.
With the release of DataSunrise 10.0, we are excited to announce full support for Babelfish. Our team has rigorously tested the integration and can confirm that DataSunrise provides all the essential functionality for monitoring, masking, and protecting data when using Babelfish with PostgreSQL.
Monitoring. DataSunrise offers real-time Activity Monitoring capabilities for Babelfish-enabled PostgreSQL databases. Administrators can gain valuable insights into database activity, including query performance, user access, and data modifications. This visibility is crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of the database environment.
Masking. DataSunrise’s Data Masking features are fully compatible with Babelfish, allowing organizations to obfuscate sensitive information in transit. Whether it’s personally identifiable information (PII) financial data, or intellectual property, DataSunrise ensures that sensitive data remains protected, even when leveraging the capabilities of Babelfish.
Protection. Security is paramount in any database environment, and Babelfish is no exception. DataSunrise provides robust security measures, including access control, encryption, and threat detection, to safeguard Babelfish-enabled PostgreSQL databases from unauthorized access and malicious activities.
By extending its support to Babelfish, DataSunrise continues to demonstrate its commitment to enabling seamless and secure data management across diverse database platforms. Organizations can confidently embrace the flexibility and cost savings associated with migrating to PostgreSQL using Babelfish, knowing that DataSunrise provides the necessary security controls to mitigate risks and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
In conclusion, the compatibility of DataSunrise with Babelfish empowers organizations to leverage the benefits of PostgreSQL while preserving the functionality of SQL Server-dependent applications. With comprehensive monitoring, masking, and protection capabilities, DataSunrise is the ideal companion for organizations embarking on a migration journey with Babelfish and PostgreSQL.
