Gravic Publishes Article on Data Validation – a Must-have for Mission-Critical Databases

Gravic published an article, Data Validation – a Must-have for Mission-Critical Databases, in the March/April issue of The Connection. In Business Continuity architectures, consistency between the production and backup systems is paramount. After all, if the backup system doesn’t match, isn’t it essentially worthless? Unfortunately, there are several common industry misconceptions and pitfalls regarding this topic. We’ve heard things like:

1. “I have a replication engine, therefore both systems and their data match.”
2. “Our production and backup systems are never out of sync.”
3. “We can make application and database changes without affecting our replication engine.”

In this article, we examine these misconceptions in detail. The bottom line is that HPE NonStop Business Continuity architectures require Data Validation to ensure that the Source and Target databases match. Below are some major benefits of Data Validation:

• proves that your backup database is consistent, complete, and correct,
• ensures the backup system is ready at all times for an immediate takeover,
• creates a timeline of data points recording when the databases match, making subsequent mismatch resolution much simpler, and
• offers other benefits, which are discussed in the article, as well as a use case at a major financial services firm.
