DH2i Achieves Dual Red Hat Certifications for SQL Server High Availability Across RHEL 9.6 and OpenShift
DxEnterprise Now Certified on RHEL 9.6 for Bare-Metal & VM Deployments; DxOperator Officially Certified for SQL Server on OpenShift
DH2i®, the world’s leading provider of always-secure and always-on IT solutions, 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
“The certification is further testimony that DxEnterprise is the ultimate HA solution across SQL Server instances and containers running on Windows, Linux, and Kubernetes, with infrastructure-agnostic resilience and zero trust network integration,” said Vivien Wang, Senior Engineering Partner Manager, Red Hat.
“Red Hat’s validation confirms what our customers already experience – DxEnterprise is the most reliable HA foundation for SQL Server, no matter where it runs,” said OJ Ngo, Co-Founder and CTO, DH2i. “Whether on Windows, Linux, or OpenShift, organizations get one HA engine that just works, without complexity or compromise.”
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
“DH2i’s DxOperator is the preferred choice for customers because it’s Microsoft’s preferred SQL Server operator for Kubernetes and is also certified up to OpenShift 4.19 – combining the trust of two major names in one powerful solution,” continued Wang. “Unlike alternatives, DxOperator makes container deployments streamlined, secure, and scalable. Its smart clustering and zero trust tunnels empower organizations to stretch clusters across clouds, regions, and sites without VPN limitations. With Red Hat certification, DxOperator gives decision makers the confidence to modernize SQL Server with unmatched resilience, security, and reliability.”
“Indeed, with Microsoft and Red Hat both backing DxOperator, IT teams have a trusted, modern HA stack for SQL Server in OpenShift,” added Ngo.
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.
