Project Start

The project requirements were that the client wanted to protect his complete environment against system failures. This included a critical database and a critical file system (the file system is interacting with the database and resides on the same server). A number of pre-defined system administrators should be enabled to initiate the switch-over in case of a problem.

Solution Approach

All project requirements could addressed with ease, solved and implemented with BusinessShadow^®, just one solution for the different aspects:

• BusinessShadow^® component DBShadow^® takes care of the database
• BusinessShadow^® component FSShadow^® takes care of the file systems
• BusinessShadow^® component SwitchApplication takes care of the switch-over process

Implementation

The project implementation started with a project kick-off meeting to detail the interdependencies within the complex application environment and possible implementation details. The next step was the actual implementation of the software followed by an in-depth knowledge transfer about how to handle the implementation. The project was rounded up by as an emergency switch-over test and an individual user manual which covers potential crash and switch-over scenarios.
