Migrating your existing PostgreSQL databases can seem like a daunting task, but with the right guidance, it’s a smooth and strategic move towards a more efficient and agile infrastructure. We’re excited to introduce our new technical white paper, “Migrating PostgreSQL Databases to VMware Data Services Manager Best Practices,” a comprehensive guide designed to help you navigate this process with confidence.
Why Migrate to VMware Data Services Manager?
VMware Data Services Manager (DSM) is the integrated Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) solution for VMware Cloud Foundation.
Migrating to DSM can unlock a number of key benefits for your organization, including:
- Faster Provisioning: Quickly deploy data platforms using pre-packaged, certified templates.
- Automated Operations: Automate routine tasks like lifecycle management, scaling, and data protection, freeing up your team to focus on more strategic initiatives.
- Extensive Monitoring: Gain deep visibility into your database and underlying resources with curated alarms and notifications.
- AI-Ready Infrastructure: Deploy pgvector-enabled PostgreSQL databases to support generative AI and RAG workloads.
This white paper is specifically designed for a “brownfield migration,” which involves moving existing PostgreSQL databases to new ones managed by VMware DSM. It outlines a step-by-step approach to ensure your migration meets all business requirements for performance, availability, and scalability. The document is a valuable resource for architectural and management staff, as well as infrastructure and database administrators.
Whether you are looking to minimize downtime with logical replication, use traditional backup and restore methods, or migrate legacy versions with tools like Bucardo, this white paper provides detailed methodologies and best practices to ensure a successful transition.
