Nutanix Database Service

Database-as-a-Service Platform for SQL, NoSQL, and Vector Databases.

What is Nutanix Database Service (NDB)?

Nutanix Database Service is a Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform that enables teams to provision, operate, and scale databases across on-premises and hybrid cloud environments with minimal operational overhead. It supports popular SQL, NoSQL, and Vector databases that include Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL with pgvector, EDB, and MongoDB and offers full lifecycle management—including provisioning, patching, cloning, backup & recovery, high availability, and security —through a unified console or via REST APIs.

NDB brings the simplicity of cloud database management to your datacenter. NDB is designed to give you the best of both worlds: the control and compliance of on-premises infrastructure, paired with the automation and agility of the cloud.

NDB customers have benefited from up to 10x faster read/write I/O, snapshot and restore for a 40 TB database in under eight minutes, one-click bulk patching in minutes, and realized up to 9x storage cost savings.
