In a significant development at the .NEXT Conference in Barcelona, Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, and EnterpriseDB (EDB), renowned for accelerating PostgreSQL in the enterprise, have announced an expanded partnership. This collaboration is designed to enable customers to leverage PostgreSQL for their most data-intensive and secure applications.
Enhanced Database Capabilities
The combined solution integrates Nutanix Database Service’s (NDB) developer self-service and database automation with EDB’s performance, high availability, enterprise security, and Oracle compatibility. This synergy aims to accelerate the adoption of PostgreSQL for both new cloud-native and existing enterprise applications, whether on-premises or in public clouds. Additionally, EDB’s capabilities extend beyond transactional workloads to support analytics and AI-infused applications.
“Nutanix Database Service automates provisioning, patching, cloning, and data protection to accelerate deployment, support day two operations, maintain compliance, and manage databases at scale,” said Tarkan Maner, Chief Commercial Officer at Nutanix. “Our collaboration with EDB allows customers to deploy PostgreSQL in the most demanding enterprise environments while simultaneously increasing productivity for developers building applications on PostgreSQL.”
Kevin Dallas, Chief Executive Officer at EDB, added, “The expanded partnership between Nutanix and EDB promises a seamless path to migration from legacy systems and provides a competitive edge for the AI generation of applications with support for transactional, analytical, and AI workloads. EDB’s future data and AI platform will catapult PostgreSQL into the world of data analytics and AI, providing businesses with a PostgreSQL-enabled, comprehensive data ecosystem.”
Benefits for Joint Customers
Enterprises are increasingly turning to PostgreSQL to foster innovation, reduce reliance on costly proprietary databases, and enhance business agility. Developers appreciate PostgreSQL’s extensibility, customizability, and robust community ecosystem, while IT and operations teams value its performance, scalability, and security.
With this expanded partnership, EDB becomes an officially supported database of Nutanix Database Service. The collaboration offers several benefits:
- Consistent Operations: Nutanix Database Service automates database provisioning and administration tasks like cloning, patching, and backups, enabling DBAs to manage numerous databases while ensuring best practices are consistently applied.
- Database-as-Code: NDB allows operations and platform engineering teams to integrate EDB solutions into developer platforms seamlessly, enabling developers to deploy databases in minutes rather than waiting days or weeks.
- Simplified Migration: EDB’s compatibility features and migration tools facilitate running applications written for commercial databases with minimal changes, speeding up and de-risking migrations.
- Multicloud Infrastructure: IT and operations teams can run EDB solutions across private and public clouds on Nutanix hybrid multicloud infrastructure with centralized support at the data layer.
- Enhanced Performance and Reliability: EDB’s advanced performance and security capabilities, combined with Nutanix’s modern infrastructure, optimize database performance, scalability, and availability.
- End-to-End Customer Support: Customers receive comprehensive support from hardware to database software and extensions, including best practice advice and performance troubleshooting.
