Postgres Plus High Availability Setup Service

Highly Available database infrastructures are becoming more of a critical business requirement for applications like 24/7 websites that generate dynamic content from backend databases, 'always on' order management transaction systems, and round-the-clock world operations reporting systems. Your business runs non-stop - your database needs to do the same.

EnterpriseDB's High Availability Setup service delivers all of the analysis, strategy, implementation and QA support you need to create a continuously available database infrastructure. Postgres experts work with your in-house HA leads to define a strategy that's right for you, implement it, and rigorously test key failure points to verify conformance to your HA requirements.

The High Availability Setup packaged service includes:

  • Architecting a HA solution in conjunction with your Database and IT staff
  • Designing the HA solution in conjunction with your staff
  • Reviewing the recommended HA solution with your staff
  • Guidance and assistance in testing any previously installed HA components
  • Guidance and assistance in implementing the HA solution together with your staff
  • Guidance and assistance in testing of failover, data consistency, and conformance to HA targets
  • Documenting the HA solution
  • Knowledge Transfer of the HA work to the Customer's staff

A World of Options

There are a number of excellent and robust HA options available, ranging from Free and Open Source software to proprietary systems. This range of choice is comforting as it means that there is a solution available

for your needs. It can also be confusing deciding from all of the options available, which is the most appropriate cost effective solution.


We were able to get up and running in record time, delivering a fully resilient, enterprise class implementation to our clients.

The Road Ahead

Unless you are already well versed in HA setup, the implementation can be difficult. While it can be a straightforward process, there are many interdependent systems that need to work together from your databases and operating systems to your storage and cluster managers. They all need to come together properly with little margin for doubt or error. An HA solution that does not fail over properly or worse, corrupts production data, is an unacceptable outcome. Shared disk implementations that have the potential for multiple masters to write data have the capacity to instantly corrupt your data if they are not properly fenced. Issues like these underscore the need for correct setups and rigorous testing.
