VMware has announced VMware vFabric Data Director, an enterprise database as a service (DBaaS). The first database supported by VMware vFabric Data Director is VMware vFabric Postgres 9.0 (vPostgres) which is PostgreSQL compatible.
VMware vFabric Data Director requires VMware vSphere 5.0 Enterprise or Enterprise Plus licenses and one instance of vCenter Server 5.0 Foundation or Standard. It can be used on VMware Cloud Foundry.
VMware vFabric Data Director will be available for download in Q3 2011 and will be free for non-production use.
