IBM Data Replication for Availability
IBM® Data Replication for Availability enables high-speed data replication for business continuity across Db2® databases, Db2 Warehouse, Db2 Warehouse in IBM Integrated Analytics System appliances, and Db2 Warehouse on Cloud.
The software enables continuous availability, including disaster recovery by synchronizing transactions over both row- and column-organized tables, whether on the same platform, across the data center, or around the world in an active-active configuration. It offers near real-time asynchronous data replication from a primary database server to one or more standby replicas for workload balancing or shifting workloads during planned outages, while also dramatically reducing the time to recovery for unplanned outages.
This offering is pre-integrated into IIAS and Db2 Warehouse and designed for getting started quickly through a 90-day "Try it Now" license.
IBM Data Replication for Availability offers these advantages:
- High performing
- Highly parallel replication that scales and optimizes for the IBM Hybrid Data Management portfolio. Securely transports data across unlimited distances with low latency between primary and standby servers.
- Simple and intuitive
- Fast and easy to set up by using the replication features in the web console.
- Versatile
- Flexible active-active use for high availability (development or QA, test, offload workload); transactional consistency for appliance workloads on both row- and column-organized tables; handles changed data and data definitions; ability to fail over to a standby server in the event of a catastrophe or for scheduled maintenance.
- Resilient® and reliable
- Built-in resiliency with assured recovery; tolerates maintenance interruptions and system faults (hardware, network, software).
IBM Data Replication for Availability is optimized for Db2 Warehouse as a Service workloads. It runs across IAS appliances regardless of system configuration or software version.
The web console provides quick and easy capability to monitor replication progress, with moving graphs that track status, latency, throughput, and alerts.
You can activate a trial license and test the capabilities of IBM Data Replication for Availability. The next step is moving to a production license.
