[Database Replication] TurboDX which is a data synchronization tool is introduced.
●
Advantages
- Rich data replication features: Features include homogeneous database replication, heterogeneous database replication, data integration of big data platforms, data integration of data warehouses, data format conversion and data masking are supported, which helps achieve data migration, big data aggregation and data subscription or delivery across departments.
- Rich data sources: Mainstream databases such as Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, DB2; domestic databases such as Dameng, Gauss, Kingbase; big data components such as MongoDB, OceanBase, PolarDB, Greenplum, Hadoop, Kafka are supported.
- Simple operations and maintenance: Hosts, jobs and channels can be monitored and exchange data flows are tracked by visualized management and real-time monitoring. Data comparison is also supported so that users can compare the data consistency at source and destination instantly via webpage.
- Easy and quick deployment: One-click deployment and hybrid deployment with AnyBackup Family are supported. Deployment options include basic configuration, advanced configuration, premium configuration and high-availability configuration.
●
Capabilities
- Continuous replication for homogeneous and heterogeneous databases based on CDC incremental data collection and agentless data collection is supported.
- Multiple big data components can be destinations so that big data aggregation is achieved.
- Data subscription and delivery across departments and regions are supported.
- Online database consistency comparison is supported. Data replay can be performed based on the result.
[Copy Data Masking] Based on copy in native format, incremental synthesis and storage snapshot, together with ecological cooperation, multiple masking algorithms are provided. Compared with traditional solutions, it reduces the impact on production database by masking to mounted instances. Meanwhile efficiency is enhanced by orchestration and resources can be released by setting policies or auto unmounting and cleanup.
●
Advantages
- Rich masking algorithm: Diversified masking algorithm are adopted to prevent data leakage, thus satisfying different demands and regulations.
- Reduced invasion: The incremental backup of CDM technology can be finished in minutes, thus the average invasion can be reduced by 90%.
- Reduced time: The total time needed by data masking is greatly reduced by the incremental backup and instant recovery of CDM technology.
- Process automation: The masking can be executed automatically following the workflow configured, thus the labor cost and error rate are reduced exponentially.
- Enhanced database consistency: Database snapshot is adopted by CDM technology, thus the database consistency is processed from the very beginning, so that both the efficiency and accuracy are enhanced.
●
Capabilities
- Data masking is supported for Oracle standalone / Dual-HA / RAC.
- The masking workflow can be orchestrated.
- One-off policy and cyclical policies are supported.
- Masking workflow can be started at the specified point in time. Masking workflow can be triggered automatically based on the latest point in time.
