Pervasive PSQL Vx Server

In traditional computing environments every client and server is a separate physical machine. Such an environment is well suited for certain business models and will undoubtedly continue to serve as a desired configuration.

Increasingly, however, certain business situations are better suited to hypervisor products and an environment of virtual machines (VMs). For example, applications may need to support Cloud computing as well as full virtualization, partial virtualization, and paravirtualization.

Virtual Machine Environment

A highly virtualized environment requires a different set of features from other software products. Some of the features that are in place to support a traditional computing environment are simply inadequate for a VM environment. Operating conditions differ, with additional administrative challenges, and product licensing has unique requirements.

For these reasons, Pervasive Software provides Pervasive PSQL Vx Server, a product specifically designed for use with hypervisor products and VM environments. Pervasive PSQL Vx Server has no restrictions on hosting, connection pooling, Internet or intranet use. No additional license is required for use with hypervisor features such as live migration, failover, fault tolerance (FT), high availability (HA), and disaster recovery.

Physical Machine Environment

Pervasive PSQL Vx Server also runs on physical machines. For example, you may be planning to migrate from an environment of physical machines to a VM environment that provides live migrations. You can install Pervasive PSQL Vx Server on the physical machines initially and transition to VMs as your business needs change.
