Server Replication
• How fault tolerant does your system need to be?
• How quickly do you need data back?
• How close to the failure point does your recovery point need to be?
When it comes to minor system 'hiccups'—as opposed to serious disasters—the goal is to keep both the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) to an absolute minimum—if not zero—and to minimize disruption to the IT infrastructure and to the user community. Many organizations looking to achieve shorter RTO and RPO use server replication solutions, which automatically duplicate and update data on another computer across a network.
In today's business climate, it is imperative to have a high availability environment to protect your institution against downtime, ensure complete data protection 24 by 7, and to satisfy Business Continuity Planning (BCP) initiatives.
Server replication and disaster recovery solutions don’t have to break the bank. We can design a system that meets your organization's performance needs.
InfoSight's server replication and disaster recovery solutions, along with our high availability solutions, can protect your organization's data and applications from both major disaster and minor disruptions in the most cost-effective and people-effective manner possible.

What is
Server Replication?
Server Replication is a set of technologies for copying and distributing data and database objects from a primary server to a standby server and then synchronizing the data between the servers to maintain consistency. With server replication, you can distribute data to different locations and to remote or mobile users over local and wide area networks, dial-up connections, wireless connections, and the Internet.
When the replication server detects a change, such as the creation of a new file or the modification to an existing file, it replicates it to the other server. To deal with conflicts (when two copies of the files are edited at the same time on different servers) the service resolves any issues by using the file with latest date and time. Server replication is mainly used for disaster recovery purposes.
