"Given the unique dynamic of our live events, it was critical to build a platform that scaled to accommodate real-time publishing across a multitude of user roles and data types. In many instances, our editorial coverage requires the combination of text, video and stop-action photography to accurately tell a story. During the peak of our season it’s not uncommon to have multiple live events, each with a unique set of demands on the underlying architecture. As is the balancing act of building a scalable, multi-faceted system, we didn’t want to sacrifice the richness of our offering for speed and efficiency," said Terence Hegarty, the Director of Technology for AlliSports.com. "After the review of numerous 3rd party solutions and specialized agencies we found OmniTI to have unmatched experience and know-how in developing custom publishing systems that scale."

Employing the same engineering talent that the industry’s most recognizable names call on for counsel, OmniTI has built large-scale solutions for multiple clients designed to handle more than 100 million users, and over a petabyte of data. Serving Internet users, customers who are ever-changing and demand more capability, more ease-of-use, and more content, OmniTI provides custom, end-to-end services and solutions to any company leveraging the Web for its business.

"It is increasingly critical for businesses to maintain regular contact and engagement with their customers. As the way people communicate and consume information changes, a company’s online presence becomes more important than ever before," said, Theo Schlossnagle, CEO of OmniTI. "The work we did with Alli Sports highlights our ability to work collaboratively to deliver large-scale solutions specifically tailored to allow for high-volume web site traffic and instant, targeted content distributed to their fans."

PG East 2010 will take place at the Radisson Plaza Warwick Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on March 25 - 28, 2010 and will feature a number of technical sessions from PostgreSQL community leaders. Programs are designed for administrators, developers, end-users, and students, as well as IT decision-makers, and are designed to help attendees build skills and network with core project contributors in a relaxed atmosphere. There is something for everyone at PGEast, from beginners to advanced users. Even better, the entry fee for non-PgUS members is a donation to PgUS and includes a Professional Membership to PgUS.

OmniTI is excited to be participating and we've planned four technical sessions:

• Know More Waiting, A Guide To PostgreSQL 9.0 by Robert Treat, will give an overview of the upcoming PostgreSQL 9.0 release. While we're still a few months ahead of release, but we have a pretty good idea of what's coming in the next release, and this talk will help you start planning for how you will be able to take advantage of the new features coming our way.
• PostgreSQL, meet AMQP, by Theo Schlossnagle, looks at pg_amqp, a "contrib" style module for Postgres that provides transaction style message queuing from inside of Postgres, using the AMQP standard.
• Yet Another Replication Tool : RubyRep by Denish Patel, will delve into one of the newer Postgres replication solutions on the block. RubyRep is design for dead simple installation and setup, while still delivering advanced features like data comparing, synchronization between servers, and even master-master replication options.
• Database Scalability Patterns by Robert Treat, takes a look at the common patterns around scaling your database solution, and looks at some of the different options available to people scaling with Postgres.

"Anyone dealing with PostgresSQL should consider going; this is an inexpensive and fun way to gain a wealth of knowledge.”
