VMware Expands vFabric with Postgres Database

"The first database supported by VMware is PostgreSQL, though McJannet said that other databases would be added over time. As to why VMware is supporting PostgreSQL first, McJannet noted that it's an open source technology with a long history of mission critical customer adoption.

"We really do believe that PostgreSQL with its vibrant community and heritage of critical usage is a very good database for this purpose," McJannet said.
