Save money provisioning Postgres clusters Postgres Plus Cloud Database provisions cloud based elastic PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus Advanced Server databases (with Oracle compatibility) in single instances and read scalable clusters. The clusters are set up in minutes with high-speed binary replication, automatic read load balancing, optimized connection pooling, auto-scaling (for horizontal read scale out and storage), scheduled backups, and automatic failover. And you immediately get the benefits of cloud computing with utility-like pay-as-you-go pricing, cloud based backups, elastic storage, elastic scale out, and the ability to scale virtual machine sizes up or down to meet your processing needs with no up-front hardware costs.
