What is your PostgreSQL-centered product and what makes it unique?

Nutanix Database Service (NDB) for PostgreSQL and other databases automates provisioning, patching, cloning, and data protection to accelerate deployment, support day two operations, maintain compliance, and manage databases at scale. NDB allows database administrators (DBAs) to manage an ever-growing number of databases while ensuring best practices are applied consistently across the entire fleet. With NDB, developers can self-service and deploy databases in minutes to hours instead of logging tickets and waiting days to weeks until the required databases are up and running. Using NDB, customers experience reliable performance, scalability and security for PostgreSQL and other databases running on the Nutanix hybrid multicloud infrastructure. NDB is a unique Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) offering for the hybrid multicloud and an integrated functionality of the Nutanix Cloud Platform (NCP).

What is your company’s mission?

Databases are at the heart of apps and digital services, which are key to creating value and differentiation. But while databases open up possibilities for innovation, they also pose challenges. For platform engineers tasked with the difficult job of providing developers with easy-to-consume data services, they can be tough to integrate with other platform components and tools. The solution is Nutanix Database Service (NDB), the unique hybrid multicloud Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) offering for PostgreSQL and other databases. With NDB, database provisioning is simple, fast and secure to support agile app development, while efficiently and securely managing thousands of databases to meet performance, availability and cost requirements.

Nutanix is a global leader in cloud software, offering organizations a single platform for running applications and managing data across on-premises, edge and public cloud environments. With Nutanix, companies can reduce complexity and simplify operations. Building on its legacy as the pioneer of hyperconverged infrastructure, Nutanix is trusted by companies worldwide to power hybrid multicloud environments consistently, simply, and cost-effectively.

• Hungry – our ambition is what got us to where we are today, so we champion the importance of maintaining an achievement mindset. Once we point our hearts and minds towards an initiative, we never give up.
• Humble – we strive to make a good first impression by making conversations feel open and inclusive. We are upfront in discussing our strengths and weaknesses and we always deliver on our commitments.
• Honest – the way we communicate with the world is the way we communicate amongst ourselves. We listen with the intent to understand, not to reply. We make ourselves available in every way.
• With heart – our passion for building connections with each other and with our customers is unmatched. We want others to succeed and prioritize our time and effort according to what will benefit the greater good.

These values are our North Star and make Nutanix such a great place to work at.
