You can create a VMware Cloud Director server group by deploying one or more instances of the VMware Cloud Director appliance.

The VMware Cloud Director appliance includes an embedded PostgreSQL database. The embedded PostgreSQL database includes the Replication Manager (repmgr) tool suite, which provides High Availability (HA) function to a cluster of PostgreSQL servers. You can create an appliance deployment with a database HA cluster that provides failover capabilities to your VMware Cloud Director database. For more information, see Appliance Deployments and Database High Availability Configuration.
