Gravic, Inc. Publishes New White Paper: Shadowbase Solutions & HP Pathway Domains–Perfect Together!

MALVERN, Pa. - April 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Gravic, Inc. announces the availability of the white paper, Shadowbase Solutions and HP Pathway Domains – Perfect Together! When a system fails, it is of no use having data available on alternate/takeover systems if the applications required to provide the business services are not also available when needed. Both these requirements are met by using Gravic Shadowbase data replication in concert with HP Pathway domains for NonStop systems. The newly announced paper explains how to leverage these two technologies to dramatically improve your applications’ availability profile.


The introduction of Pathway domains across nodes for HP NonStop servers helps to ensure that applications remain available. Applications are distributed across multiple NonStop server systems, and in the event of planned or unplanned outages, user requests are automatically routed to the remaining systems, thereby preserving application availability. In addition, by configuring applications within a Pathway domain across multiple HP NonStop nodes, application scalability is increased by automatic workload distribution across those systems. Complementing these capabilities, Shadowbase data replication provides all the facilities necessary to keep database copies synchronized across multiple nodes, ensuring current data remains available in the event of any outage circumstance, planned or unplanned.

By satisfying both these requirements, the combination of Shadowbase software and Pathway domains provides a firm basis to achieve increased levels of availability for an enterprise’s business services. A wide range of availability architectures are supported: uni-directional (active/passive), bi-directional (SZT, active/active), and multi-node. Data and application availability are maintained for unplanned outages and planned system maintenance or upgrades, whether for a single system outage or for a whole data center. Pathway domains and Shadowbase data replication solutions – perfect together!
