Yesss Electrical alcanza un RTO de 15 minutos con Standby

Su situación

Yesss es el mayorista eléctrico de más rápido crecimiento del Reino Unido. Desde su apertura en 2012, la empresa ha crecido hasta contar con más de 100 sucursales en el Reino Unido y Europa.

Su estrategia consiste en ofrecer un servicio superior al cliente contratando personal cualificado y apoyándolo con una plataforma tecnológica moderna. El sistema de gestión central desarrollado internamente, alimentado por una base de datos Oracle, proporciona información sobre productos y funciones avanzadas de elaboración de informes y análisis de datos a usuarios internos y externos.

Yesss exige que el sistema de gestión central proporcione datos precisos a los usuarios cuando los necesiten.
Esto significa que la base de datos de producción debe estar disponible incluso en caso de fallo en su emplazamiento primario. Además, es necesario gestionar el uso de la base de datos primaria para que no afecte a los sistemas de transacciones en línea, ya que existe la posibilidad de que los requisitos de acceso intensivo de los usuarios móviles y los sistemas de generación de informes afecten al rendimiento del sistema.

Yess solicitó a su socio Red Stack una solución de recuperación ante desastres (DR) resistente y probada para su infraestructura Oracle existente.

How we helped the client

Yesss and Red Stack separated mobile application and online transaction databases to prevent mobile application usage from affecting their primary database’s performance, with the application now connected to a replicated database.

For disaster recovery, a physically replicated standby database using Dbvisit Standby was chosen. The solution enables Yesss to retain their Oracle SE databases and achieve best practice disaster recovery. Disaster resilience is ensured by replicating between two geographically dispersed locations.

The products were quick and easy to set up and get running using Dbvisit’s online training material and documentation. If we needed additional help, Dbvisit’s support line always provided us with excellent responses, often within three or four minutes!
