NEC Software Solutions protege el sistema de pago con Standby

Su situación

El Departamento de Transporte del Reino Unido seleccionó a NEC Software Solutions para suministrar un sistema de registro, pago y aplicación para camiones extranjeros. El sistema es un complejo servicio gestionado que abarca tecnología, infraestructura, software y operaciones comerciales.

En virtud del sistema de gravámenes, los operadores deben pagar antes de llegar a suelo británico, por lo que el sistema debe estar disponible en todo momento. Del mismo modo, los agentes encargados de velar por el cumplimiento de la normativa deben poder comprobar la conformidad de los vehículos 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana. Para garantizar este nivel de disponibilidad del sistema, NEC Software Solutions seleccionó Dbvisit Standby como software de continuidad de negocio para Oracle Standard Edition.

El principal reto del proyecto era que NEC Software Solutions sólo disponía de seis meses para desarrollar, probar e implantar el sistema que gestionaría 30 millones de libras de ingresos al año y estaría disponible las 24 horas del día. Además, con una fecha legislativa fija para la puesta en marcha y penalizaciones significativas en caso de incumplimiento, NEC Software Solutions necesitaba asegurarse de que disponía de una solución rentable y sólida que fuera totalmente operativa desde el primer día.

Overview

Solution:

Very short deployment time, 6 months from initiation of project to operation
Standby™ performs database replication and verification every few minutes to keep the data up to date and guarantee database integrity

Results:

Minimal data loss (RPO) of 5 minutes
Fast database recovery (RTO) of a few minutes

How we helped the client

On-time installation of the database and the disaster recovery system was a critical requirement for the payment system’s success. Dbvisit Standby’s simple installation and intuitive configuration options provided NEC Software Solutions with the flexibility needed to easily implement the solution. In the words of Andy Jones, NEC Software Solutions' Sales Director, “Dbvisit Standby was straightforward to install and easy for the implementation team to work with”.

Dbvisit Standby met and exceeded NEC Software Solutions’s Recovery Point Objective (the maximum allowable data loss) of several minutes. Similarly, the Recovery Time Objective (the time to recover the database) is also measured in minutes. In the solution Standby performs database replication and verification every few minutes to keep the data up to date and guarantee database integrity.

Standby provides NEC Software Solutions with robust failover functionality for database recoveries and graceful switchover for planned maintenance.

The positive outcome

Dbvisit helped NEC Software Solutions achieve its tight launch timelines and the payment system went live meeting all legislative requirements. During the first eight months of operation, 1.2 million levies were purchased, collecting more than £30 million in revenue.

Dbvisit Standby has performed flawlessly in this environment, successfully maintaining the integrity of the significant data volumes sustained by the system. Standby copies production data from the primary database to the standby database approximately every five minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
