PostgreSQL is an advanced database system that can support different types and size of workloads with high performance and robust set of features. Customers can deploy PostgreSQL in AWS using Dell APEX Block Storage to run their critical workloads.
The PostgreSQL database deployment on PowerFlex system demonstrates the ability to support demanding performance requirements even if the capacity or workload continues to grow. Using the PowerFlex two-layer software defined infrastructure design, customers can deploy and scale both PowerFlex storage and compute nodes independently to match the growth demands of their critical workloads.
The tests in this paper demonstrate that Dell PowerFlex helps achieve high performance at sub millisecond latencies for PostgreSQL database workloads. This document also provides the deployment best practices for running high value PostgreSQL workloads with reliable performance, availability, security, and resiliency using PowerFlex.
