Nutanix Database Service simplifies deployment, management, and recovery for MongoDB in enterprise environments.
Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in hybrid multicloud computing, has announced a certified integration between the Nutanix Database Service (NDB) platform and MongoDB Ops Manager, combining infrastructure automation with database management to simplify MongoDB operations for customers. The integration, which is generally available now, enables MongoDB customers to streamline lifecycle management and data protection for business-critical environments operating at large-scale.
With integrated capabilities for operational data, search, and AI-powered retrieval, MongoDB’s unified data platform allows organisations to modernise legacy workloads and unleash the power of AI at scale.
Innovative enterprises voice that they want streamlined ways to integrate infrastructure, database operations, and backup workflows with less operational complexity. Nutanix Database Service and MongoDB Ops Manager bring these functions together into a unified, policy-driven workflow, reducing manual effort, and improving efficiency.
“The integration between Nutanix Database Service and MongoDB Ops Manager delivers exactly what enterprise database teams have been asking for: seamless coordination between infrastructure and database operations,” said Ashish Mohindroo, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Nutanix Database Service, Nutanix. “By bringing together automated provisioning, operational visibility, and coordinated backup and recovery, customers can reduce operational friction and achieve recovery times that can be measured in minutes.”
“MongoDB customers want flexibility to deploy and manage their databases across hybrid environments,” said Olivier Zieleniecki, Global VP of Worldwide Partners at MongoDB. “Many enterprises are turning to Nutanix Database Service (NDB) to manage their database operations. With its certified integration for MongoDB Ops Manager, our joint customers can now standardise their operations on NDB while maintaining the deep, MongoDB-specific intelligence and capabilities their applications depend on.”
Benefits for Customers
The integration helps organisations simplify and accelerate operations across the MongoDB deployment lifecycle, enabling faster and more consistent operations. Provisioning that once required multiday coordination across infrastructure and database teams can be reduced to minutes through automated workflows. Backup and recovery are coordinated through integration with MongoDB Ops Manager, while NDB Time Machine provides a snapshot-based recovery path designed for faster, more predictable outcomes. For data recovery, teams can use point-in-time recovery down to seconds.
Additional capabilities include:
- Automated sharded cluster provisioning – Deploy production-ready MongoDB sharded clusters in minutes with automated infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and Ops Manager agent installation. NDB streamlines the workflow from infrastructure allocation through monitoring setup.
- Data protection workflows through Ops Manager backup integration – NDB Time Machine coordinates backup and recovery workflows using Ops Manager’s third-party backup integration, enabling application-aware snapshots and streamlined restore workflows.
- Point-in-time recovery (PITR) down to seconds – Restore to a specific point in time by recovering from the latest snapshot and applying operations up to a specified oplog timestamp (defined in seconds since the UNIX epoch).
- Fast recovery measured in minutes – NDB Time Machine snapshot-based workflows are designed to accelerate restore operations and help teams meet stringent recovery time objectives (RTOs) for business-critical MongoDB environments.
- Comprehensive operational visibility – MongoDB Ops Manager provides monitoring, alerting, and operational insights across the deployment. Combined with NDB’s infrastructure automation and visibility, teams can correlate compute/storage behavior with database performance.
“As enterprises accelerate their digital transformation journeys and inject AI into their business processes, the increased pace and complexity are making database resiliency a non-negotiable requirement. It’s imperative for organisations to move past simple backup to demand surgical precision in data recovery. The integration of Nutanix Database Service and MongoDB Ops Manager delivers exactly this, offering the fine-grained control necessary to meet stringent recovery time objectives (RTOs). When you can provision databases in minutes and achieve point-in-time recovery down to seconds, you fundamentally change the risk equation for running business-critical environments at scale.”
