VMware vFabric Data Director powers database-as-a-service for your cloud, reducing database sprawl and drastically accelerating application development cycles with a self-service database provisioning and operations platform. vFabric Data Director is an enterprise solution that extends the benefits of VMware’s leading virtualization platform to the database tier and lets administrators securely automate and delegate routine tasks, including database provisioning, backup, and cloning. The first database supported on Data Director is VMware vFabric Postgres 9.0 (vPostgres), a new offering from VMware based on and fully compatible with PostgreSQL. vPostgres is a vSphere-optimized ACID and ANSI-SQL relational database and is the first of a broad range of commercial and open source databases to be supported by Data Director. These capabilities enable vFabric Data Director to offer the agility of public cloud database services with enterprise-grade security, flexibility, control and compliance.
- Enforce enterprise corporate IT governance to reduce database sprawl
- Self-service database management increases developer agility and accelerates application development cycles
- Extend vSphere's virtual resource capabilities to the data tier

Enforce Enterprise Corporate IT Governance to Reduce Database Sprawl
Let DBAs spend more time managing production and less time in meetings. Role-based access control and administrator-defined deployment templates reduce “database sprawl”, the proliferation of under-managed, under-secured and even unknown databases. Data Director keeps security, data protection polices, resource consumption, and database configuration best practices in check. Deployment templates guarantee corporate compliance, increase resource utilization, and eliminate the need to overprovision database resources, while self-service capabilities and instant provisioning and cloning eliminate the developer’s desire to create databases outside the control of IT. vFabric Data Director reduces administrator involvement in routine tasks through automation and an easy-to-use self-service interface, allowing administrator’s to focus on higher value-add activities like architectural design, performance tuning, and production support.
Increase Developer Agility and Accelerate your Application Development Cycle
Developers spend more time coding and less time waiting for database resources with vFabric Data Director. Using the powerful web-based console, developers self-service provision, clone, snapshot, and backup databases while IT administrators enforce corporate policies and maintain full control of company data. Self-service capabilities and automation reduce database complexity and provide developers with the benefits of public cloud services within the security of your own datacenter.
Extend vSphere's Virtual Resource Capabilities to the Data Tier
VMware vFabric Postgres 9.0 is a fully ACID and ANSI-SQL compliant relational database that has been engineered and optimized for vSphere. vFabric Postgres’ Elastic Database Memory (patent pending) integrates directly with vSphere to fully leverage vSphere’s virtual resource capabilities and dynamically adapts to changing workloads to achieve greater memory efficiency and higher consolidation ratios. Regardless of the size of your database, database consistent snapshots provide instant hot backups and database consistent linked clones provide instant clones of your database – all through the integration of vPostgres and vSphere.
