USE CASE: GEO-DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS—ALWAYS ON, ANYWHERE

Deploy multi-region clusters with 99.999% availability, enterprise-grade security, and compliance with regulations to guarantee data consistency even during outages.

THE CHALLENGE

Support for the most demanding applications

Users demand their applications to be accessible and low-latency all the time, no matter where they are. But to ensure an always-on database with excellent performance across regions, you'll also need to maintain data consistency and compliance while adhering to diverse regulations, and minimize disruptions or outages of the data layer during maintenance and infrastructure failures. And all this must come with the flexibility of an extensible data platform that can be deployed on-premises or on public or local clouds, including hybrid architectures, while maintaining enterprise-grade security.

OUR SOLUTION

Extreme high availability, wherever you are

EDB Postgres® Distributed (PGD) is an enterprise-grade Postgres data layer offering active/active clustering, multi-master replication, and geographic data distribution for mission-critical applications. PGD ensures continuous uptime, low-latency access, and automatic failover, with synchronous data replication across nodes and conflict resolution for simultaneous write operations and strong consistency, eliminating single points of failure and maintaining high availability.

High availability


Up to 99.999% uptime with synchronous replication and automatic failover, including geographically distributed databases.

Postgres clustering


Deploy configurations across different infrastructures for hybrid operations and flexible architectures in self-managed, fully managed, and Kubernetes deployments.

Replication and Compliance


Implement controls in multi-region clusters to replicate data selectively to meet compliance with local and regional data sovereignty requirements.
