Editor's Notes
- #10 vFabric Data Director is a new product we are introducing. Data Director is built on vSphere platform to extend the virtualization benefits to the database layer. It’s a self-service database provisioning and cloud automation platform that enables organizations to offer database-as-a-service inside their own datacenter and in turn dramatically simplifies database deployment, operations and scaling in the cloud, further, this allows enterprise to keep their data behind the firewall and maintain control. The first database we have enabled on top of this platform is a vSphere-optimized PostgreSQL database, the most enterprise-ready open source database.
- #12 The core capabilities of Data Director can be view in three pillars.The first pillar is focused on application developers, enabling developers to self-service their database needs. Users can perform routine database operations like provision, backup, recovery and cloning through an intuitive user interface with a few clicks. Comparing before where they would need to file a ticket and wait for IT to respond. The will enable developers to spend more time coding and less time waiting.This second pillar is focused on DBaaS operations, providing IT with the necessary tools to enforce control and compliance over databases. With self-service to empower developers, at the same time, it’s also important for IT to maintain control. Data Director provides a myriad of features to allow IT to control resource usage, access and templates to maintain standardization, so you can feel comfortable empowering your developers.The third pillar focused extending the virtualization benefits to the database layer. For example, we have optimized Postgres database for vSphere, enhancing it to run better in the virtual environment and fully leverage the virtual infrastructure.
