Databases for PostgreSQL

This open-source, object-oriented relational database management system (RDBMS) stores and manipulates data for restructuring. Its main advantages are high level of reliability and customisation options. It works on all operating systems, making it a flexible solution.

It is a Database as a Service (DBaaS) solution. Provided as a turnkey service, it is distributed between several of our Public Cloud instances. Our management and administration services cover configuration, maintenance, backups, security, and scalability, so you don’t have to worry about them. In short, it is a cloud database service that saves you time.

Organisations choose PostgreSQL to maintain a high level of integrity and customisation for their data. This solution offers, among other features, excellent reliability for the integrity of your data, robust features, and allows ACID transactions to be carried out via customised procedures.

Once you have downloaded and accepted the PostgreSQL licence agreement, it is indeed possible. However, you will also need to perform all the database management and administration yourself. You will therefore not benefit from the features we provide in our turnkey service.

These two database engines offer different advantages. PostgreSQL’s reliability and scalability makes it particularly useful for processing accounting or transactional data. MySQL, on the other hand, is best known for its scalability and performance. Our solutions offer both of these database management systems, along with Valkey and Kafka.

These service plans each represent a different PostgreSQL pack on the Public Cloud. Each option includes a variety of features that suit different applications. This could be for cluster size, the number of nodes in the cluster, network, scalability, or even high availability.

No. Your service runs on one or more Public Cloud instances, each with its own storage. This way, only you have control over your data.

Yes. We provide automated backups for each solution. However, the default retention policies differ depending on the pack you choose. We suggest taking a look at all our plans before making your choice.

Absolutely. PostgreSQL is known for its robustness and great flexibility. It offers a wide range of features, some of which are particularly suited to AI use cases.
OVHcloud provides a series of extensions, including pgvector and pgvectorscale. What’s more, its ecosystem of partners, such as those in the Open Trusted Cloud network, offer turnkey solutions to take your projects further.
This reflects a clear commitment to developing innovative and secure AI technologies, designed to meet the needs of both startups and large organisations.

We perform all of the database management and admin tasks for you, so you don’t have to worry about installation, maintenance, security, backups, and scalability. It is this managed service that we charge for, so you can hand over these additional tasks.

1-AZ regions use a single availability zone with one or more datacentres. While they offer protection against server and driver failures, they can be vulnerable to datacentre failures, which in turn can cause access issues.

In comparison, 3-AZ regions provide true fault isolation with 3 independent availability zones, each with isolated power, cooling, and network. This architecture means that services remain available even in the event of an entire zone failure.

Get peace of mind with 99.99% SLAs.

Yes! It is certainly possible to migrate from a 1-AZ region to a 3-AZ region.

You can connect 1-AZ regions to 3-AZ regions via private connectivity to optimise the complexity and cost of your infrastructure deployments.
