Yellowbrick Data Cloud DR Service With Database Replication and Enhanced Backup/Restore Features

Yellowbrick Data, Inc. announced the availability of its Cloud DR service, as well as database replication and enhanced backup/restore features that remove cost and complexity from the BC strategies of company’s customers.

These solutions fill a gap: yesterday’s BC tools are too slow and complicated to manage the large and growing datasets typical of the company’s data warehouses, which increasingly power web applications that are critical to the business. Yesterday’s BC tools also fail to address other big data issues around cloud, hybrid cloud, data location, and data gravity. The firm’s Cloud DR gives these businesses confidence that essential analytics-driven services stay operational.

“We’re complementing the existing BC functionality inside a single Yellowbrick Data Warehouse–including support for HA, erasure coding, and fault tolerance – with new features that provide continuity across databases and locations in a low-cost, low-effort way using the power and flexibility of hybrid cloud architecture,” said Nick Cox, head, products. “That is essential for business-critical applications.”

These offerings provide the speed, granular control and management that businesses need to backup and restore big datasets. They support backups at near-line speed, allow for incremental backups, and provide transactional consistency (ACID) of restored data. They also enable the automation of backup/restore operations without intermediate storage.

For more stringent HA requirements, support for database replication via streaming provides continuous, asynchronous replication that transmits all changes withins and maintains ACID properties at all times. The company also supports arbitrary topologies to ensure it can meet every customer need.

Cloud DR also offers low-cost database replication as a service that provides a high level of BC support for the firm’s data warehouses. Users can select one or more target databases to replicate to a second instance, either between cloud regions or from an on-premises instance to any cloud region, with full failover and fail-back capabilities.

“Yellowbrick delivers the scale, speed and support for hybrid cloud architectures that customers need,” said Cox. “Our easy-to-use – yet powerful – solutions span backup/restore, database replication and DR.“
