Nutanix Database Platform is now integrated with MongoDB

Nutanix has announced the availability of a certified integration between Nutanix Database Service (NDB) and MongoDB Ops Manager. This innovation combines infrastructure automation and database management, aiming to simplify operational activities on MongoDB, especially in more complex and large-scale enterprise environments.

Nutanix Database Service integrates with MongoDB Ops Manager

Database management in hybrid environments continues to require coordination between different teams, manual processes, and separate tools for provisioning, backup, and recovery. To address this issue, Nutanix offers a unified operational flow based on policies that connects infrastructure and database management.

According to the company, the integration allows MongoDB customers to improve database lifecycle management and data protection in mission-critical environments. In parallel, MongoDB continues to promote its data platform as a foundation for modernizing legacy workloads and supporting use cases related to artificial intelligence, thanks to features that combine operational data, search, and information retrieval.

The integration aims to make the entire operational lifecycle of MongoDB simpler and faster by standardizing activities that often require long times and the involvement of multiple teams. Provisioning, which previously could take days of coordination between infrastructure and database, is reduced to minutes thanks to automated workflows.

Backup and recovery also become easier to manage: MongoDB Ops Manager coordinates operations, while NDB Time Machine adds a snapshot-based recovery path designed to ensure faster times and more predictable results. On the data recovery side, teams can also rely on point-in-time recovery capabilities, allowing them to restore the environment to a specific moment in time with accuracy to the second.

Among the new features:

Automated provisioning of sharded clusters – rapid deployment of production-ready sharded MongoDB clusters, thanks to infrastructure provisioning automation, configuration, and installation of the Ops Manager agent. NDB simplifies the entire workflow from resource allocation to monitoring configuration.
Data protection workflows through integration with Ops Manager backups – NDB Time Machine coordinates backup and recovery workflows leveraging integration with third-party Ops Manager backup solutions, enabling application-aware snapshots and simplified recovery procedures.
Point-in-time recovery with second-level accuracy – recovery to a specific point in time, retrieving from the last snapshot and applying operations up to the desired oplog timestamp (expressed in seconds from the UNIX epoch).
Rapid recovery in just a few minutes – NDB Time Machine’s snapshot-based workflows accelerate recovery operations and help teams meet stringent RTO (Recovery Time Objective) targets for critical MongoDB environments.
Complete operational visibility – MongoDB Ops Manager provides monitoring, alerting, and operational insights across the entire implementation. Combined with the automation and infrastructure visibility offered by NDB, teams can correlate compute and storage behavior with database performance.

The integration between Nutanix Database Service and MongoDB Ops Manager precisely addresses the needs expressed by database teams in companies: seamless coordination between infrastructure and database operations,” states Ashish Mohindroo, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Nutanix Database Service at Nutanix. “By combining automated provisioning, operational visibility, and coordinated backup and recovery, customers can reduce operational inefficiencies and achieve measurable recovery times in just a few minutes.
