| Databases - number crunching engine houses< click here to visit the main Advanced Group Web Site >
Databases are the engine behind most heavyweight business applications – from accounts processing through commerce and manufacturing systems.
Businesses frequently have a ‘huge’ investment in their database – in what it records, processes and can generate in income.
If a database ‘goes down’ often a business can stop functioning and the costs/revenue losses can be measured. These may be substantial.
A Microsoft Gold Partner and accredited HP reseller, our skilled pre-sales specialists and engineers can configure, build, supply and install servers that are powerful and resilient enough to handle your database or databases. Database servers need to have the power to run smoothly and resilience to ensure that they keep running. Including:
- Multiple processors
- Multiple LAN Cards
- Multiple power supplies
- RAID Arrays - with hot swap spares - up to RAID 10
- Fast disks with large caches
- Server clusters
- UPS’s
High resilience and high availability
Databases can also be clustered to work in groups improving performance and reliability.
But sometimes this isn’t enough. Some organisations can measure their database throughput in £10,000’s per hour. In these scenarios loss of the site that the database sits on can threaten their existence.
To protect against this we offer replication and high-availability services from our data centre. This can ensure that if your main site loses power, suffers a disaster, loses telephone and data connectivity, you still have access to your data. This might include web access, data links to your sites and customer access.
