Benchmarking and Migrating Enterprise Databases to Open-Source Platforms

Enterprises looking to modernize their data platforms are increasingly evaluating open-source databases as a cost-effective and scalable alternative to licensed systems. This white paper explores how organizations can benchmark OLTP performance using HammerDB (TPROC-C) and plan a structured migration from traditional enterprise RDBMS platforms to PostgreSQL. It outlines practical benchmarking methodologies, key performance metrics, and migration phases to help decision-makers adopt open-source databases with confidence.
