Delivering high availability for enterprise databases is often a complex effort requiring tight coordination between infrastructure, storage, and DBA teams. This session explores how Nutanix Database Service (NDB) simplifies that process by orchestrating High Availability (HA) directly for your databases – enabling seamless failover, delivering zero RPO and near-zero RTO across supported engines. 

We’ll explore how NDB’s HA implementation leverages engine-specific clustering mechanisms, with extensive automation for engine and topology-aware provisioning, and automated failover to ensure service continuity. We’ll also touch on:

• How HA differs across engines (Including Postgres, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle)
• How HA differs from Disaster Recovery
• Introduce quorum-based leader election for applicable engines
• Share a glimpse into our roadmap
• Introduce the need for implementing HA in your Databases as well as for NDB itself
