About HammerDB Ltd
We help you spend less on databases. With the industry-standard
open-source HammerDB and hands-on expertise, we reveal where you overpay and your lower cost alternatives, so you can negotiate hardware, software license, and cloud spend from a position of knowledge and power.
Our mission. We are so passionate about how much you can save by moving to open source, we will help you for FREE, cutting through the fear, uncertainty, and doubt around database performance. We specialize in helping CTO's see what the price lists and license fine print hide. When an incumbent DBA team insists you can’t go open source and their single-stack tools only measure one engine at a time, we run comparable, repeatable tests with HammerDB quantifying risk and value, turning that entrenched “can’t” into an evidence-backed migration plan and measurable savings for your business.
