Today at the Nutanix .NEXT conference in Barcelona, Spain, we announced the upcoming general availability of MariaDB Enterprise Server on Nutanix Database Service (NDB). Nutanix customers can choose and deploy the enterprise version of MariaDB database via NDB to support hybrid and multi cloud strategies. Collaborating with Nutanix, allows MariaDB to deliver enhanced enterprise database management capabilities to businesses worldwide, addressing the challenges around AI-driven workloads that industries face when opting for hybrid cloud vs. public cloud offerings.

Regulated industries, such as finance, healthcare, and government, often have stringent compliance requirements and security concerns when it comes to adopting public cloud. While hyperscalers offer scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency, they may fall short in meeting the specific needs of regulated sectors. Compliance regulations often mandate data residency, data sovereignty, and strict access controls, which can be challenging to enforce in a public cloud environment.

What is Nutanix Database Service (NDB)?

Nutanix, a leader in cloud infrastructure and hyper-converged solutions, provides the platform through its NDB. Built on the principles of simplicity, scalability, and reliability, NDB offers a cloud-native database management experience with the aim of making databases a seamless part of the software development lifecycle while reducing the complexities associated with traditional database administration.

NDB is a hybrid-cloud native, self-managed database-as-a-service (DBaaS) solution, designed to simplify database operations for modern applications. It allows users to focus on their applications while Nutanix handles database and infrastructure provisioning, scaling, and maintenance tasks automatically. NDB supports popular open source databases enabling seamless migration and deployment of existing workloads.
