Sydney, Australia – Progress, an AI-powered digital experiences and infrastructure software provider, has recently introduced the company’s managed data platform as a service.
Designed to streamline enterprise data and AI operations in the cloud, Progress Data Cloud enables customers to accelerate their digital transformation and AI initiatives while also reducing operational complexity and IT overhead.
Said solution further aims to provide a unified, secure, and scalable platform to build, manage, and deploy data architectures and AI projects without the burden of managing IT infrastructure.
As a data platform as a service, this new solution further facilitates managed hosting for robust instances of Progress Semaphore and Progress MarkLogic, with the roadmap including support for more Progress solutions.
Among its key benefits include eliminating infrastructure complexity using always-on infrastructure management, monitoring service, continuous security scanning, and automated product upgrades.
Another significant advantage is reducing IT costs and bottlenecks with predictable pricing, resource usage transparency, and no egress fees. It also helps strengthen security posture with an enterprise-grade security model that is SOC 2 Type 1 compliant.
Meanwhile, the solution offers superior availability and reliability, supporting mission-critical business operations, GenAI demands, and large-scale analytics. Additionally, self-service access controls and tenancy management provide better visibility and customisation.
John Ainsworth, GM and EVP of Application and Data Platform at Progress, said, “Organisations increasingly recognise that cloud and AI are pivotal to unlocking business value at scale. Progress Data Cloud empowers companies to achieve this by offering a seamless, end-to-end experience for data and AI operations, removing the barriers of infrastructure complexity while delivering exceptional performance, security, and predictability.”
