Nutanix Database Service (NDB) for Oracle
Enterprise Database-as-a-Service Platform for Oracle
Deploy Oracle Single Instance, RAC, and Data Guard/Active Data Guard configurations in minutes with one-click provisioning, eliminate manual patching and backup workflows, and recover large databases in minutes reliably using application-consistent snapshots.
Key Benefits
Rapid Provisioning & One-Click RAC Setup
Rapid Oracle Database Provisioning: Provision production-ready Oracle databases in minutes using standardized, automated workflows.
One-Click Oracle RAC Deployment: Create fully configured Oracle RAC clusters with a single click—no manual cluster setup or scripting required.
Built-In Best Practices: Automatically apply Oracle-recommended configurations for storage, networking, and clustering.
Consistent, Repeatable Architecture: Eliminate configuration drift by deploying Oracle Single Instance and RAC databases from the same standardized platform.
Disaster Recovery Made Easy
Automated Oracle Data Guard from Day One: Instantly deploy native Oracle Data Guard as part of database creation—no manual scripting or complex setup.
Industry-First Support for Advanced Topologies: Seamlessly configure single standby, multiple standby, and cascaded standby architectures—all fully automated.
Built for Enterprise On-Premises Oracle: Purpose-built for mission-critical Oracle environments, delivering consistent, repeatable DR at scale.
One-Click Switchover and Failover: Confidently transition between primary and standby databases for planned maintenance or unexpected outages.
Seamless Oracle Database Upgrades
Simplified Major Version Upgrades: Upgrade Oracle databases to newer major versions using guided, automated workflows that reduce risk and manual effort.
Reduced Downtime and Operational Risk: Leverage NDB-managed upgrade workflows to plan, execute, and validate upgrades with minimal disruption to production workloads.
Accelerated Backup & Recovery
Policy-Driven Backup with Time Machine: Protect Oracle databases using NDB Time Machine, combining snapshots and transaction logs to enable granular, point-in-time recovery.
Quick Recovery Operations: Restore databases to any point in time quickly and reliably—minimizing downtime and operational impact.
Thin Cloning for Dev/Test: Create space-efficient database clones in minutes for development, testing, and analytics without duplicating data.
Independent Backup and Recovery Lifecycle: Manage backups, restores, and clones without disrupting production workloads.
Built-In Security & Compliance
Simplified Oracle TDE Enablement: Enable Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) during database provisioning with minimal manual configuration.
Database-Aware TDE Configuration: NDB handles wallet setup and database configuration as part of the database lifecycle, reducing operational complexity.
Consistent Security by Default: Standardize encryption-at-rest across Oracle databases to meet enterprise security and compliance requirements.
Streamlined Patch Management
Automated Oracle Patching, End to End: Apply Oracle Release Updates (RU) through a fully automated workflow—eliminating manual, error-prone patching steps.
Rolling Patching for Oracle RAC: Patch RAC clusters node by node to maintain database availability and minimize service disruption.
Application Continuity Awareness: Integrates with Oracle Transparent Application Continuity (TAC) to preserve application sessions during patching and node transitions.
Consistent, Repeatable Patch Compliance: Standardize patch levels across Oracle estates with predictable, policy-driven patching workflows.
Optimized Licensing, Predictable Performance & Linear Scale
Optimized Oracle Licensing: Reduce Oracle licensing costs by 30-40% through compute-only and storage-only node configurations. NDB runs databases exclusively on compute nodes while automatically provisioning and mapping storage from separate, unlicensed storage nodes.
Predictable Database Performance: Run Oracle databases on dedicated compute nodes with isolated storage, delivering consistent, low-latency performance for mission-critical workloads.
Independent, Linear Scalability: Scale compute and storage independently to grow performance or capacity without redesign, disruption, or resource contention.
