Primary hardware that must have a backup to ensure availability is the web server and the database server. In addition to having a primary and a backup of each of these two servers a replication server must also be implemented into the architecture in order for the databases on each server to mirror each other. With proper planning and implementation of this system if the primary servers have a failure there will not be any interruption of service to the customer who is accessing the…

* Data should constantly be tested to make sure there is no corruption or lost. The redundant servers should greatly help with this. When the data is taken off site there should be a working sever there to test the backup upon arrival. All checks should be logged.…
1. Halting Failures: these failures are from a component aspect. It is when a component suddenly stops working and there is no way to detect this except by a timeout. It is not sending the computer program the message that hey I am still functioning.…
Data redundancy in a database occurs when same data is stored in different tables unnecessarily. A modification to a single piece of data requires change for all the copies. Use of flat file database designs and spreadsheets can lead to data redundancy.…
Every system’s architecture largely permits or prohibits a system’s quality attributes such as performance or reliability. This Accounting Transaction processing system’s performance will depend heavily on the system’s input/output architecture, data communications architecture, and the efficiency of the system software (Satzinger, 2004).…

“A database is a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system. In order for a database to be truly functional, it must not only store large amounts of records well, but be accessed easily. In addition, new information and changes should also be fairly easy to input (tech-faq.com)”. To ensure practical use over a long period of, databases ought to be built with high-level of data integrity and the capability to recover data in the event of hardware failure. Data that has been destroyed or corrupted is useless within a business’s data system structure.…
Site and communications failures manifest themselves as the inability of one site to exchange message with another site. When you have a failure one the first steps is to have a handshake procedure. Handshake is where two sites communicate between each other to set parameters so normal communications over the channels can begin. After the failure has been isolated than we would start to fix the failure. When the systems has a failure than it must initiate the procedure which will allow the system to reconfigure. This will allow its primary function to fail and reset to a simpler function, mitigating any unacceptable failure consequence. It will control the system without forcing sacrifice desired, but uninsurable, capabilities. After the system reconfigured it will go through the recovery phase and be integrated back in to the…

Throughout this novel there are a lot of characters worthy of comparing and contrasting, however I've decided to analyze Matsu, and Stephen relationship. The base of Matsu and Stephen relationship sort of reminds me of a George and Lennie relationship from the “Of Mice and Men Tale”, in which George carries around Lennie like a helpless pet by caring for him, guiding him through life, and bailing him out of the sticky situations he gets himself in.…
Understand the aspects of disaster recovery Disaster recovery is concerned with the recovery of critical systems in the event of a loss. Be able to discuss the process of recovering a system in the event of a failure A system recovery usually involves restoring the base operating systems, applications, and data files. Be able to discuss the types of alternative sites available for disaster recovery. The three types of sites available for disaster recovery are hot sites, warm sites, and cold sites. Be able to describe the needed components of an incident response policy the incident response policy explains how incidents will be handled, including notification, resources, and escalation. Full Backup A full backup is a complete,…
