      Data masking
      Our masking methods include character shuffling, nulling or deletion, encryption, masking, and word substitution, to protect sensitive data such as credit card numbers, bank account details, and other sensitive personal information.
      Different privileges have access to different views of the same data. Employees in a bank call center, for example, see a restricted view of sensitive data, whereas employees in a bank branch can see a full view of customer information.

      A The annual subscription license includes 24/7 support, and is licensed per CPU core (physical or virtual).

      For example, if a computer has 2 CPUs, each with 4 cores, then 8 licenses are required.

      Number of licenses = total number of cores


      Software installed and used on non-production environments purely for development, test, or user acceptance purposes costs 25% of the total number of cores on each computer, rounded up to the nearest core.

      Number of licenses = total number of cores x 0.25 (rounded up  after the decimal point)

      Q How many active licenses do I need to purchase when installing Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres in a virtual environment?

      A You will need to purchase one license for each core.

      Q What are the key benefits of Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres compared to PostgreSQL?
