Database as a Service (RDS)
CloudOrcus RDS offers a fully managed database layer that leverages your infrastructure, and multi-region footprints eliminating the complexity of manual database deployments, scaling, and maintenance. Whether you need traditional relational databases, advanced NoSQL engines, or both, CloudOrcus provides the automation, observability, and governance necessary to deliver enterprise-grade database services within your environment.
Why CloudOrcus
RDS?
Leverage Your Hardware: Eliminate reliance on external clouds by maximizing the capacity of your own servers and racks.
Enterprise-Grade Features: Achieve high availability, multi-region replication, and advanced security while meeting strict SLAs.
Scalable & Extensible: Adapt to evolving business needs by scaling compute, memory, and storage seamlessly within or across multiple facilities.
Unified Observability & Governance: Enforce consistent security policies and gain end-to-end visibility across hundreds of databases in a single pane of glass.
By transforming your physical server farms, multi-region data centers, and HPC clusters into a cloud-like DBaaS, CloudOrcus RDS unifies automation, security, and performance. You gain the flexibility of a managed service automatic patching, backups, and scaling without relinquishing ownership of your infrastructure or data. This cohesive approach supports high-demand workloads, specialized compliance scenarios, and continuous growth within your existing architecture.
Wide Range of Supported Databases
Relational
Engines
Trigger instant data flows upon specific events like sensor readings, transactional updates, or system messages enabling real-time synchronization between distributed systems, racks, or HPC nodes.
NoSQL & Analytics
Capitalize on advanced data transfer optimizations such as chunking and parallel processing to achieve ultra-low latency. Ideal for scenarios like live analytics, operational dashboards, or system health monitoring across vast infrastructures.
Hybrid & HPC Integration
Integrate existing message queues or streaming frameworks to ensure sub-second propagation of data across your internal networks, HPC clusters, and geographically dispersed data centers.
Best-Practice Templates
Integrate existing message queues or streaming frameworks to ensure sub-second propagation of data across your internal networks, HPC clusters, and geographically dispersed data centers.
Support diverse database workloads transactional, analytical, or ephemeral without adopting separate tools. Everything runs on your hardware, maximizing ROI and minimizing external dependencies.
High Availability & Multi-Region Replication
Built-In Redundancy
Each database instance can be deployed in highly available clusters, replicating data across racks, nodes, or different data centers in real-time. This eliminates single points of failure and ensures robust uptime.
​
Multi-Region Failover
For ultra-critical workloads, CloudOrcus supports asynchronous or synchronous replication between geographically separated sites. In case of a disaster, your standby region can seamlessly take over.
​
Load Balancing & Read Scalability
Offload read-intensive workloads to read replicas, enhancing throughput for analytics or reporting. Automatic failover ensures that these replicas become primary if needed.
​
Fault-Tolerant Architecture
Tie into HPC or distributed server clusters for sophisticated failover logic. If a node fails, CloudOrcus automatically reroutes traffic and re-synchronizes data with minimal user intervention.
Vertical Scaling
Dynamically increase or decrease CPU, memory, and storage resources of an existing database instance to handle fluctuating workloads. No application changes required.
​
Horizontal Scaling
Sharding or replication of databases across multiple nodes or data centers for added throughput and resilience. CloudOrcus automates the process of splitting data and synchronizing replicas.
​
Multi-Region Replication
Create cross-data-center replicas that stay in sync—ideal for low-latency reads or geographically distributed applications.
Automated Failover
If the primary database experiences downtime, CloudOrcus automatically promotes a replica to minimize service disruption.
Disaster Recovery Configurations
Leverage HPC or geographically separated nodes for bulletproof DR setups. In catastrophic events, a pre-configured replica can take over with minimal data loss.
Deliver continuous availability for mission-critical databases backed by multi-region redundancy, automated failover, and guaranteed data consistency, all within your own infrastructure.
Security, Compliance & Governance
Encryption & Key Management
Apply disk-level encryption (AES-256) and TLS for in-transit data. Manage cryptographic keys using CloudOrcus’s centralized KMS or integrate with hardware security modules (HSMs) on-prem.
Network Isolation & Access Controls
Restrict inbound/outbound traffic using security groups, private subnets, and firewall rules. Combine with CloudOrcus IAM for fine-grained role-based access to database instances, backups, and logs.
Compliance Alignment
Adhere to industry regulations (e.g., PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GDPR) by implementing consistent audit trails, data masking, and retention policies. CloudOrcus logs every DB activity—query execution, user creation, configuration change—for traceability.
Automated Policy Enforcement
Define organizational guardrails—such as mandatory encryption or resource quotas—and let CloudOrcus enforce them automatically. This ensures each new database deployment meets your security and governance requirements.
Maintain complete data ownership and demonstrate regulatory compliance, even while offering DBaaS across multiple data centers. Unified policies guarantee security best practices at scale.
Observability & Advanced Tooling
Gain unified monitoring and insights across all database instances whether located in HPC nodes, separate racks, or multi-region clusters simplifying troubleshooting and performance optimization.
Developer & DevOps Enablement
Self-Service Portals & APIs
Allow teams to provision and manage database instances on-demand using CloudOrcus’s REST APIs, CLI, or web portal. This fosters agility while retaining centralized
​
​
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Support
Integrate CloudOrcus RDS with IaC tools like Terraform or Ansible, codifying your DBaaS deployments for reproducibility, version control, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
CI/CD Integration
​
Spin up ephemeral databases for testing, run migrations, and tear them down after completing build pipelines. Perfect for DevOps workflows that require fully isolated test environments.
Documentation & SDKs
Leverage Python, Go, Java, Node.js, and other SDKs to script repeatable database operations. Access code samples, best practices, and reference architectures for advanced projects.​
