Keep your database running when a component fails.
High availability and disaster recovery are different things. The first handles the failure of a component; the second, the loss of a site. We design and test them separately.
The right high availability model for every platform
Oracle
Data Guard setup, switchover and failover management; RAC and single-instance installations.
Microsoft SQL Server
Always On Availability Groups and Failover Cluster Instances; the choice depends on storage architecture and licence edition.
PostgreSQL
Automatic failover and connection routing with Patroni on top of streaming replication.
MySQL
Routing with InnoDB Cluster and MySQL Router, multi-region scenarios.
Failover testing
Planned and unplanned failover drills; durations are measured and reported.
Licensing consulting
Comparing current usage against entitlements; identifying risks arising from virtualisation and core counting.
Heterogeneous replication with Oracle GoldenGate
- Installation and configuration; replication between Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 and MySQL
- Real-time replication at database, schema or table level
- High-volume initial load and consistency validation
- Minimising downtime during version upgrades using replication
- Monitoring replication lag and resolving bottlenecks
- Periodic health check: process status, lag and conflict reporting
Systems with automatic failover are backed up too. Replication instantly copies data that was deleted by mistake; a backup brings it back. Failover drills are scheduled, and the measured failover time is included in the monthly report.
Alongside this solution
Database Management
24/7 SLA-backed operations for Oracle, Exadata, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and MongoDB.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Immutable backups, Data Guard and disaster recovery with RTO/RPO targets; regular drills.
Database Migration
From Oracle, DB2 and Exadata to PostgreSQL and BigQuery; near-zero downtime with CDC.
A no-commitment start in three steps.
