How Does DReplicate Work?

Replication is the process of duplicating data from one database/system to another. It helps maintain data consistency and availability in case of failures or disasters in your computing system.

Primary-Secondary Replication

A type of database replication where one database server acts as the master and another acts as the slave (secondary). The master receives write requests and updates its own data, while the slave receives updated data copies and maintains a replica of the master database.

Master-slave replication ensures data consistency, improves performance, and provides failover support. If the master database fails, a slave can be promoted to master to maintain data availability and business continuity.

Why is Disaster Recovery still needed when you already have Backup?

Disaster Recovery (DR) and Backup each play an important role in protecting data and ensuring business continuity.

DR focuses on accelerating system and service recovery to reduce downtime. Backup provides recovery points for restoring important files that already existed.

To build a truly resilient IT environment, it is important to implement both strategies effectively.

DReplicate Solutions: Tailored to Your Needs

Hot DR

Primary and secondary databases share the same specifications. The secondary virtual machines run in replication mode.

Warm DR

The secondary database is on standby. During data replication, new virtual machines are activated when a disaster recovery (DR) event occurs.

Cold DR

The secondary database is used to restore virtual machines and data in emergency or disaster recovery situations.
