Verifone Chooses Percona for Multi-Database Management and Support

Percona, a leader in open source database software and services, today announced that Verifone, a global FinTech leader and payment solution provider to the world’s best-known retail brands, has engaged Percona to provide support for its MongoDB, PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. Percona experts will be responsible for resolving potential open-source challenges and ensuring the smooth operation of mission-critical services.

Verifone revolutionizes the merchant and customer experience by providing a single, unified, global platform that enables seamless payment transactions, processing more than ten billion transactions each year. Verifone provides eCommerce and card-present payment solutions to retail brands, major financial institutions and millions of merchants worldwide. The brand is recognized for its footprint of more than 30 million devices in over 150 countries.

Karthik Marimuthu, Senior Director of Global Cloud Services at Verifone said: “Working with Percona enables us to consolidate the management and support of all of our databases with one expert open-source service provider. We get around-the-clock access to experts that understand the technology and our business, helping us deliver the real-time, reliable service our customers expect.”

Martin James, Vice President EMEA at Percona said: “When you work across three different databases, processing more than ten billion transactions each year, you need a vendor that understands each system and how they interrelate with your business. Our in-house subject matter experts will provide Verifone with centralised and consolidated support, helping them reduce their database management costs and address future challenges head-on.”

As part of the agreement, Percona will help Verifone migrate from three individual database technologies to Percona’s own MongoDB, MySQL and PostgreSQL open source software – resulting in greater cost efficiencies and easier database management.
