Hardly any company can operate without databasesagdays. A disaster or logical error affecting database availability can lead to data loss, significantly impact employee productivity, and even damage a company's brand and revenue. Mitigate these risks with highly available databases.
Databases in IT are electronic management systems that contain information in the form of data. Databases function via a database managementag(DBMS). SQL databases such as Microsoft SQL, MySQL , or PostgreSQL are frequently used. Database systems are nowagcore component of enterprise software and are therefore among the vital IT technologies for a company. Disruptions or even outages quickly lead to high costs due to lost revenue, loss of customer trust, and the additional effort required for troubleshooting.
Highly available database
The only way to reduce the risk of database failure is to achieve high availability. The problem, however, lies in the so-called single point of failure. This refers to a failure of a resource that is not redundantly designed and whose failure brings the entire system to a standstill. Highly available databases must therefore use redundant instances to prevent, for example, defective storage media (HDD or SSD) from blocking the entire application. To achieve high availability in databases, the most common method is to store the same data multiple times. This is achieved, for example, through mirroring (replication) on two or more storage media or virtual servers.
Simple redundancy thanks to Netetstream Workload Availability
However, with Netstream Workload Availability Service (NWAS) , implementing redundancy becomes incredibly easy for any business. Simply select the virtual machines (VMs) hosting your application and enable replication to the Netstream cloud using NWAS Cloud . Netstreamhypervisor-level replication, no complex application integration is required to protect your SQL servers. This makes the solution both simple and scalable.
The advantages at a glance:
- Simple redundancy in a Swiss Cloud.
- Relieve the IT team
- Consistent multi-VM application recovery with Virtual Protection Group (VPG) technology
- Failover testing without interrupting replication or shutting down production.
- No configuration changes to SQL are required, nor is any SQL knowledge required for recovery.
- SQL VSS Writer integration for scheduling application-compliant timestamps
- Test SQL with application servers in isolated bubble networks
