Control
DBaaS platform for managing multi-cloud deployments
EDB Postgres Ark Platform
Self service database provisioning with enterprise controls.
Flexibility and Control
EDB Ark allows organizations to set up their own Database as a Service (DBaaS). This enables their end users to provision EDB Postgres Advanced Server or PostgreSQL databases in single instances, on high-availability and secure clusters, or for application development sandboxes on public and private clouds powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
Intuitive UI
Unified UI to manage deployments across multiple clouds and availability zones
Enterprise Ready
Highly available clusters, with data encryption, load balancing, and multi-zone replication
Using Ark with EDB Postgres also makes data migrations to the cloud a snap.
Platform Availability
EDB Ark is available on several deployment platforms, including:
The Advantages of Ark
Seizing Opportunities of Cloud
EDB Postgres Ark simplifies the process of provisioning Enterprise Postgres deployments, while taking advantage of the benefits of cloud computing.
EDB Postgres Ark allows for:
-
Straightforward creation of Postgres clusters
-
Automatic backup and recovery
-
Load balancing, monitoring and management
-
Secure and transparent connections
-
Interfacing using the GUI or a JSON Compatible API
-
Connecting applications directly or through pgPool
-
Accessing the full database via SSH
Scale Out and Scale Up
EDB Postgres Ark provides scale out for increased read performance and increased data storage. In addition you can scale up to increase RAM or CPU. Scaling thresholds for number of server connections or percentage of storage used can be used to automatically add new replicas or increase the storage assigned to the cluster.
Continuous Data Replication
Ark clusters can also be used in conjunction with EDB Replication Server. This allows for the creation of fully integrated digital business solutions that bridge from traditional on-premises databases running on SQL Server and Oracle Database, to DBaaS solutions running on Postgres. This approach combines the functionality of migration capabilities with the continuous data replication capabilities to allow users to migrate to open source-based solutions with minimal downtime.
