Database Virtualization Defined
Monday, July 21, 200807:37 am EDT
Passive database fail-over systems may be “good enough” for many businesses applications. However, many IT architects are looking to escape the limitations of traditional database clustering architectures by taking advantage of virtualization. Database virtualization is emerging as a viable approach to traditional clustering.
Database virtualization software such as GRIDSCALE runs between your applications and databases. It manages multiple, active-active database copies running anywhere on the network. The database virtualization software load balances read requests for scalability and performance. Write requests and database changes are simulcast to all databases to keep them in sync. The databases themselves operate completely independently from one another, unaware that they are part of pool of database servers. And the applications typically require little to no modification beyond the use of a special ODBC, JDBC driver which talks to the database virtualization server.
We’ll be using this site to explore how our database virtualization technology, GRIDSCALE, is being used to eliminate database downtime, improve scalability, implement disaster recovery and reduce IT waste. Stay tuned. To find out more, visit our resource center.
