Disaster Recovery

TIBCO MDM manages data and some of this data is important when planning for disaster recovery. There is an effective disaster recovery plan with using data elements critical to the disaster recovery strategy.

One of the contingencies that must be considered is that the functionality provided by a collection of components at a physical site may be completely lost due to a major problem at that site. A common way of dealing with this contingency is to provide an alternate site with a completely redundant set of components that can take over the operational responsibilities for the failed site.

The process of switching to the use of the backup site is commonly referred to as site disaster recovery. Site disaster recovery may employ a high-availability strategy, a fault-tolerant strategy, or a combination of the two strategies in the switchover between the components at one site and their redundant counterparts at the disaster recovery site.

There is a set of practices to consider while defining the Disaster Recovery policy and should be used along with industry and organizational Disaster Recovery practices. In addition, this document is supplemented by the TIBCO MDM Installation Guide, which specifies TIBCO MDM components, and the detailed order and required parameters for installing the components.

  • Though this information is related to total disaster recovery, you should review this information to determine the impact of multiple points of failures. For example, if all the cache servers fail, it would still be considered a disaster.
