Our Seminars on Continuous Availability

We at the Availability Digest have created a series of seminars covering a wide range of topics concerning continuous availability and active/active systems. We will present these seminars to you and your peers either at your facility anywhere in the world or online. The seminars are presented by Dr. Bill Highleyman, Managing Editor of the Availability Digest.

Dr. Highleyman has presented papers and seminars on continuous availability for over seven years and has written extensively on these topics. He holds several patents in the core technologies required to implement active/active systems, and is a coauthor of the three-volume series, "Breaking the Availability Barrier."

You can expect to learn the following from our seminars:

Basic availability theory The impact of redundancy on availability Fault-tolerant systems The architecture of active/active systems The use of data replication to keep database copies synchronized How RPO and RTO are affected by the choice of data synchronization* Reliable networks Achieving fast failover

Data replication products Eliminating planned downtime Other advantages of active/active systems How active/active systems compare to clusters Cost justification Real-life horror stories Case studies of active/active systems in practice

We offer one-day, three-day, and five-day seminars:

       

We will also tailor a customized seminar to meet your specific needs.

*RPO, the Recovery Point Objective, is the specification of how much data can be lost due to a failure. RTO, the Recovery Time Objective, is the specification of the maximum time allowed to return a failed system to service.
