What MariaDB Enterprise Manager is
MariaDB Enterprise Manager is self-hosted software for managing MariaDB Server, with hybrid deployment options. Its Enterprise Platform plan includes observability and monitoring, standard replication, backup and recovery, and automated failover.

Enterprise Platform Ultimate builds on Plus with an MCP Server for agentic AI, AI RAG, and geo-distributed deployment. The product runs on Linux and the web, and its listed database support includes MariaDB and MySQL. It supports high-availability management, roles and permissions, audit logging, change data capture, multi-way replication, and cross-region replication; automated provisioning is not available.
