Peer DRS offers database replication and also is capable of replicating database changes to one or more remote locations
Ronkonkoma, NY — April 16, 2007— Peer Software, Inc., a global provider of enterprise-grade file and network management solutions for hundreds of Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, today announces Peer DRS, centralizing management of database backups and replication from a single location and from a single application. Peer DRS also replicates database changes to one or more remote locations acting as warm standby servers. The initial release will support MS SQL Server; future releases will support other database platforms (MS Exchange, MySQL, etc.).
Peer DRS automates the replication of databases and incremental changes on a primary server, which are then restored onto one or more target standby servers. Transaction logs are automatically backed up throughout the day (for whatever interval specified), which are then automatically restored on a standby server located anywhere in the world. This keeps the two Databases in "synch"; should the production server fail, users simply have to point the users/applications to the new server and perform a database “role reversal.” Peer DRS can be configured to handle almost any type of backup scenario, which is simplified by its intuitive configuration wizard and management GUI.
“Peer DRS was developed to meet an unaddressed need: centralizing – and simplifying -- replication of an organization’s databases, wherever they may reside. Peer DRS has a plug-in architecture allowing it to support different types of database backups from a single application. As with all our backup and synchronization tools, Peer DRS combines enterprise-grade functionality with ease-of-use. Once configured, it will manage all database replication routines with nominal administration.”
