A Relational Database Service for Any Cloud
Provide Self-Service Access to Developers
Developers can spawn dedicated on-demand instances of SQL for new and replatformed applications without operator intervention. The service works the same in any cloud.
Point and Click Management for vSphere
VMware Data Services Manager simplifies creation and management of VMware SQL databases running in vSphere. Use an intuitive graphical interface or a comprehensive set of APIs.
Support Cloud Native Developer Organizations
Take advantage of significant automation for operator and developer lifecycles. Install, manage, monitor, and update SQL. Ensure deployments meet enterprise requirements.
Why VMware SQL?
Proven at Scale for Mission-Critical Apps
The world’s largest organizations trust their most important database apps to MySQL and Postgres. Why? Because these systems deliver time and time again.
Highly Available and Scalable
VMware SQL eases the operational overhead of running databases at scale with built-in backups, monitoring, and several layers of high availability.
Alternative to Proprietary Database Engines
VMware SQL is a leading alternative for organizations that want to get away from the cost and complexity often associated with third-party databases.
Embedded Security Features Reduce Risk
VMware SQL is configured with sane and secure defaults so that the service meets user expectations for a general-use relational database.
Runs on Any Cloud
Install and self-manage VMware SQL wherever you like. Enjoy a consistent developer experience and disaster recovery strategy across cloud and large Tanzu Application Service deployments.
VMware Data Services Manager
With VMware Data Services Manager (formerly Data Management for VMware Tanzu), enterprises can give their end users point-and-click convenience for database creation while maintaining conformance to policies and standards.
VMware Data Services Manager simplifies database operations in the vSphere data center. With an intuitive graphical interface and a comprehensive collection of APIs, it’s a customer-managed DBaaS solution that brings ease of operations, automation and scalability for MySQL and Postgres in vSphere.
VMware SQL with Kubernetes
VMware SQL with Kubernetes provides essential database management functionality across fleets of Postgres deployments, including:
Self-Service Deployment
VMware Postgres is designed to be configured and deployed with a single command for self-service ease.
Automated Management
The life cycle of each PostgreSQL database instance is fully managed by a centralized Postgres operator. Routine management operations such as deployment, failover, and scaling are built into the operator and carried out cluster-wide across the entire fleet.
Elastic Scale
Running Postgres instances can be easily scaled horizontally or vertically with simple commands.
Consistent Operation
The deployment and management experience is the same across any Kubernetes platform. That means commands stay the same regardless of the underlying infrastructure, be it on-prem or cloud.
