Platform V Pangolin 5.3.0 and 1C:Enterprise 8 Compatibility

Sber Tech, a subsidiary of Sber, and 1C completed test tests on the interaction of 1C:Enterprise 8 platform with the Platform V Pangolin relational database management system (version 5.3.0). Tests showed compatibility and high performance of two IT solutions. This was announced on February 13, 2023 by the press service of Sberbank.

The joint use of Platform V Pangolin and 1C:Enterprise 8 will help companies efficiently process and store large amounts of data, while being confident in the reliability and security of their IT infrastructure. The transition of companies to Platform V Pangolin will ensure their uninterrupted operation in the long term and support from the Russian vendor.

Platform V Pangolin is a database management system (DMS) that:

• Provides high reliability, security, availability, and performance
• fully suitable for import substitution tasks (included in the Unified Register of Russian Programs for Computers and Databases);
• based on the well-established PostgreSQL open database platform and contains a number of important improvements;
• is a target DBMS on the scale of Sberbank and other large Russian companies. As of February 2023, more than 10 thousand Platform V Pangolin installations are operated as part of applications and services of various levels of criticality and scale.

The key features of Platform V Pangolin compared to other DBMS are the security functions of stored data and ease of use. The security of stored data is ensured by transparent encryption of stored information and connection parameters, protection against privileged users, flexible control of password policies, expanded capabilities for auditing user actions and two-factor authentication.

Ease of maintenance is achieved by generating reports for a detailed analysis of the history of DBMS activity, the ability to determine the time of the last change in the structure of the object, thanks to tracking locks that arise in the DBMS operation and other functions.

Solutions from "1C" are recognized on the market ERP- systems Russia in terms of the number of implementations and have become the main alternative to a foreign one ON in their category. Many Russian companies are faced with the issue of technological independence not only of ERP systems, but also of the DBMS with which they interact. In addition, many existing installations, along with "1C," still use foreign DBMS, many of which have ceased to be supported by vendors. The company is pleased to offer to the market domestic the development of Platform V Pangolin, which has been tested for compatibility with 1C:Enterprise 8 and has repeatedly proven its effectiveness, security, fault tolerance and ease of migration. explained Maxim Tyatyushev, CEO of Sber Tech.

Confirmation of the compatibility of Platform V Pangolin and the 1C: Enterprise 8 platform allows us to count on the effective use of these technologies of Sber Tech and 1C in highly loaded systems of domestic organizations, added Boris Nuraliev, director of 1C.
