 DH2i today announced two major Red Hat certifications that solidify its position as the gold standard for SQL Server high availability across hybrid infrastructure.

DxEnterprise Certified for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.6

DH2i’s flagship high availability (HA) platform DxEnterprise® is now officially certified for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.6, enabling organizations to deploy and cluster SQL Server across bare metal and virtual machines (VMs) with Red Hat-validated confidence.

With this certification, now visible in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog, organizations gain:

• Certified HA automation across physical and virtual environments

Fully automatic failover, intelligent load balancing, and integrated monitoring

• Built-in Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) with Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) tunneling

Eliminates the need for VPNs and locks down workloads at the application level

• Freedom to mix SQL Server versions and OS platforms

Cluster Windows and RHEL-based SQL Server instances under one HA framework

DxOperator Now Certified for Red Hat OpenShift

DH2i’s DxOperator, its SQL Server operator bundled with DxEnterprise and preferred by Microsoft for Kubernetes deployments, is now officially certified for Red Hat OpenShift. You can find it in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog here.

This certification enables customers to:

• Streamline SQL Server container deployment on OpenShift within DxEnterprise’s HA framework

Including fully automated failover for SQL Server Availability Groups in OpenShift, a capability no other high availability solution delivers

• Deploy SQL Server containers in a sidecar configuration (one container image for DxEnterprise, and a separate container image for SQL Server within the same pod) No custom image support headaches to deal with
  
• Stretch SQL Server OpenShift clusters across clouds, regions, and sites using secure SDP tunnels

Unified HA Across Bare Metal, VMs, and Containers

With DxEnterprise certified for RHEL 9.6 and DxOperator certified for OpenShift, DH2i unlocks the unparalleled ability to mix and match instances, containers, platforms, and infrastructure for organizations.

In other words, Red Hat users leveraging DH2i’s technology can cluster RHEL 9.6 nodes alongside SQL Server containers in OpenShift – all within a single unified HA framework managed from one control plane.
