Why Should You Decide for Database Oracle Replication

Image
Oracle has been at the forefront of database management systems for decades and organizations have built up an environment from their Oracle database that increases operational efficiencies. The most optimized way for this which is typically preferred is O racle replication of databases, a technique where data access is ensured from a wide range of sources like servers and sites. O racle replication allows real-time data access and therefore has high data availability. In the oracle  replication process , data is shared, distributed, and consolidated so that organizations can keep it in sync across various locations and share it with partners. This data is present in different branches and wherever there is a need to create multiple copies of the database. These copies are all synchronized and allow backups in case of disaster recovery, testing, distributed data processing, and business reporting.  The Benefits of O racle Replication There are several benefits of O racle repl...

Choosing the Ideal Database Replication Tool

Image
The primary function of a database replication tool  is to help in storing data at multiple locations so that the current database can be accessed from any remote location. This is possible when data is copied from one server to another for sharing and making it available across regions. The important result of using a database replication tool and replicating data is disaster recovery. If there is an outage, data breach, or hardware failure in one location, the servers in the secondary locations are automatically triggered and work is not disrupted. After the issue is resolved, the primary server is updated with data and changes that happened in the intervening period. Other than this aspect, placing a backup of the data close to the user quickens accessibility and reduces network loads.  Requirements and Features of a Database Replication Tool Once it is known why replication is required in an organization, it is easy to understand the type of database replication tool...

Why Should You Migrate Databases with Amazon DMS

Image
  With Amazon DMS   (Amazon Database Migration Service), you can optimize the migration of databases from on-premises databases to the cloud or from one cloud provider to another. The migration activity may be a one-time process from the source to the target database or continuous replication of data between the two provided they are always kept in sync. Amazon DMS also facilitates database migration between NoSQL databases, relational databases, and data warehouses. Migration with Amazon DMSis fast and seamless as managing, tracking, and deploying the infrastructure for migration is auto-managed by the software once it is configured. DMS supports the complete infrastructure for database migration including software patching, error reporting, and tracking of hardware and software. This is against previous methods where additional hardware and software had to be installed for database migration. Database migration with Amazon DMS provides great flexibility and unlimited data s...

Why Do You Need Data Transformation on S3

Image
Apart from being one of the most-used cloud-based services in the world, AWS (Amazon Web Service) also offers a range of computing and storage services, one of the most popular being the Simple Storage Service (S3) of AWS. So, where does data transformation on S3   come into the picture? Applications based in the cloud have specific requirements and often need a different view of the data in a dataset. For example, an e-commerce database needs personally identifiable information while the same dataset for a marketing campaign might have to be enriched with additional information about customer loyalty. A newly-launched capability of AWS is the S3 Object Lambda that helps users in data transformation on S3 on the go where data stored in S3 buckets can be processed and transformed. It also works with existing applications and uses Lambda functions for automatic processing and data transformation on S3 as it is being retrieved from S3. Application code need not be c...

Amazon Web Service ETL Tool and Its Features

Image
The ETL (short for Extract, Transform, Load) tool is used to combine several databases regardless of their location into a centralized data storage facility or a data warehouse. The Amazon Web Service (AWS) is a platform that is based in the cloud and offers cutting-edge services such as content delivery and high storage and computing capabilities. There are three functions of the AWS ETL tool. First, it extracts data from a source database, transforms the data so that it matches the structure of the target database, and finally, loads the data into the intended target. The process is fully automated and hence insulated from any errors or data loss as there is no human intervention required. There are several benefits of the AWS ETL tool that makes it ideal for database migration. First, the AWS ETL tool loads data in minutes, almost in real-time, and greatly helps businesses when fast analytics is required. On the other hand, manual loading of data is very time-consuming e...

The Functions of the ETL Tool for AWS

Image
Amazon Web Service (AWS) is a platform based in the cloud, providing a host of services like high computing facilities and unlimited storage capabilities. But the most critical service is facilitating database migration between on-premises systems to the cloud, one cloud provider to another, relational databases, and data warehouses. The most optimized method for migrating databases is using the ETL tool for AWS . ETL is short for Extract, Transform, Load. It is mainly used to combine several databases into a centralized storage repository or a data warehouse. The ETL tool for AWS has three functions. The first is extracting data from a source database, then transforming the data so that the structure of the source database matches that of the target database, and finally, loading the processed data into the intended target. Since this process is fully automated, not only is it very cost-effective but also does away with the possibility of errors and data loss. The ETL tool for AWS...

The Technology Behind Replicating Software

Image
Replicating software is the tool that copies data from a centralized database or data warehouse to one or multiple databases. The source database is called the Publisher as data is moved from this point and the target database to where the data is moved is called the Subscriber. Regardless of the type of the database that is, publisher or subscriber, all users have access to the same set of data and records.  There are a lot of differences between the usual data backup and the process done by  replicating software. The main point here is that while data backup is a one-time process, replicating software will update databases continually at pre-set intervals with changes made at the source database. Hence the software is fully optimized for data recovery, security, and resilience. This is possible because the software is not dependent on the source database and hence able to do heterogeneous migration of data where the database engines, data codes, and types of the source and...

Using the ETL Tool for AWS Database Migration

Image
AWS (Amazon Web Service) is a cloud-based database migration solution that enables seamless data transfer from on-premises systems to the cloud, one cloud provider to another, and between NoSQL databases, data warehouses, and relational databases. This is best carried out with the ETL AWS   tool.   ETL stands for Extract, Transform, and Load, and the tool is mainly used for combining several databases into one central storage repository. ETL AWS has three stages. First, data is extracted from the source database, then it is transformed to the required structure, and finally, the formatted data is loaded into the intended target database. The ETL AWS process is fully automated and thus, not susceptible to errors and data loss, thereby resulting in improved database performance and cost efficiencies.  ETL AWS  offers a host of benefits. During the migration of databases, users do not have to install and configure any drivers or applications or make any change...
