New EDB Postgres Failover Manager 2.1 Eases Operations in High Availability Architectures

BEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- EnterpriseDB^® (EDB™), the leading enterprise Postgres database company, today announced the release of EDB Postgres™ Failover Manager 2.1 with essential new capabilities that help customers manage high availability configurations.

"Our customers rely on the EDB Postgres Platform to meet their needs for a highly available Postgres deployment. With this release of EDB Failover Manager, we provide them with greater flexibility to specify instructions on failure and new capabilities supporting zero downtime maintenance," said Marc Linster, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Products and Services, EDB.

EDB Postgres Failover Manager provides highly available fault tolerant database clusters that significantly reduce downtime and keep data available and online when a master database server fails. It provides cluster monitoring, failure detection, and failover mechanisms that can be integrated into a variety of stringent high 9s-based high availability solutions. The new release features:

• Controlled switchover and switchback: The ability to execute this process preserves the viability of the master node while assigning it to replica status as another replica is promoted to master. This is extremely valuable during testing high availability and disaster recovery procedures or performing maintenance tasks.
• Additional configuration options: EDB has enhanced EDB Postgres Failover Manager with more configuration options to make integration with existing environments easier. For example, EDB Failover Manager can now trigger customer-supplied scripts to send notifications to real-time chat rooms or via SNMP in addition to email notifications. Also, the solution now includes additional trigger points so DBAs can create a wider range of instructions to be executed in the event of a failure or other event.

The EDB Postgres Failover Manager is a major component of the EDB Postgres™ Management Suite that is included with and integrated into the EDB Postgres™ Platform. The new release is available for download with PostgreSQL and EDB Postgres Advanced Server, the database options included with the EDB Postgres Platform.

EDB Postgres Failover Manager is available for a 60-day trial. Download it here.
