An Overview of Data Replication Software

 

Data replication software quickly creates a replica of the original database at a location that is not linked to the source of the primary data. Data security, disaster recovery and resolution, and business continuity are thereby assured. In the event of an outage, users can fall back on the secondary databases, and once the problem is resolved revert back to the primary database which is auto-updated for all changes.   

Replicating software provides centralized data management and replication policy across a diverse range of data targets and sources. This process is different from backups which retain a copy of the data for an extended period of time. Replicating software frequently updates modified data so that the central database and all those at other locations are always brought up to date.

Data replication software has multiple benefits.

It makes sure that data consistency is maintained for end-users who in the usual course of business have to access multiple data stores. Business continuity is ensured in case of a site disaster as multi-site replication of the primary database is maintained by zero-downtime data migration. Most importantly, data replication is an integral part of long-term data retention and archiving.

Data replicating software support big data initiatives by providing real-time transactional data delivery and integration into data lakes. The software is also capable of data policy compliance, continual data recovery and failover and uninterrupted replication with no risk of loss of data. Vendors today compete on offering assured data security through minimum disruption to network activities as well as low bandwidth consumption.  

Data replicating software is a paid subscription with the charges depending on the volume of data and the number of data sources that have to be replicated.

AWS Support to Migration of Databases to S3

Image
  In July 2019, Amazon Web Service Data Migration Service (AWS DMS) announced the launch of a service that would support the migration of data from any source in AWS Apache Parquet data format to S3. The data migrating feature AWS DMS CDC S3   is available in the 3.1.3 version of DMS. S3 is generally used to support DMS while creating data lakes. This data can be used with a wide range of AWS such as Amazon Redshift Spectrum, Amazon EMR, and Amazon Athena. It has been a long-standing demand by users which has now been accepted by AWS with the launch of AWS DMS CDC to S3 . Why do businesses migrate data from AWS DMS CDC to S3? There are several benefits to it. It provides cutting-edge data security, data availability, performance, and scalability which means that organizations can use the S3 for storing and protecting unlimited volumes of data in the cloud. This includes databases with mobile applications, enterprise applications, websites, protection to unlimited volumes...

Make Amazon Redshift as AWS DMS Target Database

Image
  Amazon Redshift database is a data warehouse solution based in the cloud. With Amazon Database Migration Service, you can migrate data from supported databases keeping Redshift as the target. However, it is essential to ensure that the AWS account and the AWS region form a part of the same Redshift cluster. The first step in DMS REDSHIFT database migration is to move data to an Amazon S3 bucket with AWS DMS. Once the files are located in the S3 bucket, the Amazon S3 automatically transfers the intended tables to the Amazon Redshift data warehouse. The S3 bucket, as pointed out previously has to be in the same AWS Region as the Amazon Redshift database. However, when AWS CLI or DMS API is used for DMS Redshift migration, an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) path have to be set up to get access to S3. Amazon Redshift provides automated processes in the following cases. ·         Modifications made at source tables by incremental dat...

Features and Functions of Software for Data Replication

Image
  Data replication is the activity where several copies of the same data sets are made and stored in different locations, thereby allowing easy data accessibility across the network. The replicated data can be stored on-site or off-site, in the same system or cloud-based locations. Data replication is so critical that major database technologies such as Microsoft SQL or Oracle database have in-built systems for this activity. Data replication takes place in two ways. One is asynchronous that carries out replication when the Commit statement is issued to the database. The other is synchronous replication where any change that is made to the data at source will be automatically replicated to the data at target. One of the most optimized methods to carry through this process is to use a very effective data replication software . The advantage of the software is that it helps to quickly create a replica of the database at source to a location that is completely independent of the s...
