Nutanix Database Service (NDB) for MySQL
Database-as-a-Service Platform for MySQL
Deploy in minutes, not days. Back up automatically. Restore in minutes. Patch without the risk. NDB handles the full MySQL lifecycle - so your team can focus on apps, not operations.
Announcing Nutanix Database Service 2.11: Dynamic Scaling, Advanced Data Protection, and Expanded Hybrid Cloud Capabilities.
Key Benefits
Run both MySQL Community Edition and Enterprise Edition with Confidence
- Unified Management: Nutanix provides enterprise-grade infrastructure support for both MySQL Community Edition and Enterprise Edition.
- Consistent Architecture: Avoid configuration drift by managing your entire MySQL fleet using a unified automation framework, regardless of the edition.
Rapid Provisioning & One-Click HA Setup
- Rapid Database Provisioning: Stop spending hours or days manually configuring VMs, networking, and storage. Provision enterprise-ready MySQL databases using standardized, automated workflows.
- One-Click HA Configuration: NDB automates the deployment and management of MySQL InnoDB Clusters powered by InnoDB Group Replication, allowing teams to configure high availability with a single click.
MySQL Infrastructure That Scales and Performs
- Hyperconverged Architecture: Run MySQL where your data lives. Nutanix HCI keeps data local for maximum performance and consistent I/O.
- Non-Disruptive Storage Scaling: As your MySQL databases grow, NDB enables online storage expansion without downtime or reconfiguration, preserving your performance characteristics.
Lightning-Fast Backup & Point-in-Time Recovery
- Efficient Snapshot-Based Backups: Storage-level snapshots enable rapid, application-consistent backup operations that impose no copy overhead on the running workload.
- Precise Point-in-Time Restores: Designed to keep your data protected. NDB Time Machine delivers Point-in-Time Recovery (PiTR) to a specific second. Restore multi-terabyte databases quickly, largely independent of database size.
Hybrid and Multicloud Operational Consistency
- Consistent Operations Across Environments: Deploy and manage MySQL databases across on-premises, co-location environments, and public clouds (AWS, Azure & GCP) using Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2).
- Avoid Vendor Lock-In: Run your MySQL databases wherever your business dictates using a single management interface, without proprietary managed-service dependencies
Enterprise Security & Encryption
- Simplified TDE Enablement: Designed to help protect your regulated, production MySQL environments out-of-the-box. For MySQL Enterprise Edition, NDB streamlines Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) and key rotation setup during database provisioning.
- Consistent Access Control: Combine encryption with built-in role-based access control (RBAC) to seamlessly support strict enterprise security and compliance requirements.
Fast, Storage-Efficient Cloning
- Rapid, Zero-Byte Cloning: Refresh dev, test, and reporting environments rapidly. NDB creates space-efficient MySQL database clones using snapshot-based copy data management.
- Avoid Production Impact: Run clones independently while preserving production performance, avoiding storage bloat and operational drag.

How Nutanix Database Service for MySQL Works
Architecture Overview
NDB for MySQL: Complete Lifecycle Automation
Streamlined MySQL operations from the Nutanix Database Service platform, supporting on-premises and public cloud deployments.
Why Choose NDB for MySQL?
| Capability | Traditional MySQL Operations | NDB for MySQL |
|---|---|---|
| Provisioning | Manual scripts taking hours or days; inconsistent setups. | Provision MySQL using standardized, best-practice profiles. |
| High Availability | Complex manual cluster and replication setup. | One-click HA configuration with automated deployment. |
| Backups & Recovery | Manual scripts; slow, time-consuming restores that scale with database size. | Scheduled backups via Time Machine; multi-terabyte restores. |
| Security | Manual setup of encryption and access control. | Streamlined Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) setup (Enterprise Edition) and RBAC. |
| Cloning | Full-copy clones take hours and consume TBs of expensive storage. | Create zero-byte clones with minimal storage impact1. |
1 Cloning is currently available for single instance databases, with support for High Availability cloning on the roadmap.
