The need to move data from one location to another in an asynchronous manner is a goal for many enterprises. Use cases might include migrating data to a reporting database, moving applications from on premises to the cloud, storing a redundant copy in another data center, configuring active/active databases across geographic locations, and performing heterogeneous […]

In this series of posts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4) , we compare and contrast the disaster recovery (DR) solutions available for SQL Server on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and help you understand the nature of these trade-offs, and the cost and complexity of implementing DR for SQL Server […]

In this series of posts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4), we compare and contrast the disaster recovery (DR) solutions available for Microsoft SQL Server on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and help you understand the nature of these trade-offs, and the cost and complexity of implementing DR for SQL Server […]

In this series of posts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4), we compare and contrast the disaster recovery (DR) solutions available for Microsoft SQL Server on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). This post introduces three methods for implementing DR for SQL Server on AWS: SQL Server backup and restore, SQL Server […]

In today’s world, it’s just a matter of time before disaster happens, and when it happens it’s essential to recover your SQL Server databases and bring the systems online with minimal data loss and downtime. To respond to and recover from an outage of SQL Server database access, high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) […]

In some cases, Database Administrators (DBAs) need to run post-database creation steps such as running SQL statements for creating users and database objects, resetting passwords, or standardizing Oracle database builds. This is mainly done during the database creation phase of new application deployment or during database refreshes that occur in non-production environments. AWS CloudFormation gives […]

This is part two of the two-part series of blog posts discussing how to apply smart legal contracts technology to verify delivery conditions with open-source Accord Project and Amazon Quantum Ledger Database service. In the first part we introduced the smart legal contract technology, a sample delivery process, and reviewed the solution to run smart legal contracts on AWS with Accord Project. […]

Smart legal contracts are an emerging technology in the legal tech domain. Their main goal is to make the verification of terms and conditions in legal contracts more efficient. Unlike smart contracts, which are self-running programs in distributed ledger databases (usually in blockchain-based systems), smart legal contracts represent an entire legal contract. They combine a […]

Certain organizations require multi-Region redundancy for their workloads to achieve disaster recovery and business continuity. Disaster recovery is an important part of resiliency strategy and concerns how a workload responds when a disaster strikes. The most common pattern to have as a disaster recovery solution in AWS is to build a multi-Region application architecture including […]

More and more organizations are adopting graph databases for various use cases, such as legal entity lookup tools in the public sector, drug-drug interaction checkers in the healthcare sector, and customer insights and analytics tools in marketing. If your application has relationships and connections, using a relational database is hard. But Amazon Neptune, a fully […]
