Run enterprise databases with ultra-low latency in 50+ AWS Local Zones where native RDS and Aurora are unavailable.
Overview
The Problem: No Native RDS or Aurora in AWS Local Zones
Organizations that need ultra-low latency, data sovereignty, or edge-proximity database access face a gap: AWS RDS and Aurora are not available in AWS Local Zones. This forces teams to self-manage databases on EC2 - absorbing the operational burden of patching, backups, high availability, and security - or accept latency penalties from cross-region database access.
The Solution: CGI DBaaS on AWS Local Zones
CGI DBaaS delivers a fully managed, RDS-like database platform inside 50+ AWS Local Zones. Jointly designed by CGI, a global system integrator and managed services provider, and Tessell, a Co-Pilot for your Cloud Databases, this offering deploys enterprise databases on Amazon EC2 and EBS within AWS Local Zones - fully managed by CGI.
Supported Databases
- Oracle Database
- Microsoft SQL Server
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- MongoDB
Key Capabilities
- Automated provisioning and scaling - Deploy production-ready databases without manual configuration
- Built-in backups and point-in-time recovery - Protect data with automated backup policies
- High availability and disaster recovery - Maintain uptime with failover and replication options
- Patch and maintenance automation - Stay current without operational disruption
- Monitoring, alerting, and lifecycle management - Full observability via the Tessell management console
