Retiring application data to the cloud

How to move forward in the world, cloud computing, users on the use of on-demand programs and one of the Service (SaaS) and application of information technology departamentong many are struggling to maintain life-support applications. Many of the coma is the only applications for the control and storage, not in real-time data and interaction.

Despite the demand, "turned off" the data will continue to reside in the database and files, is still in space, and software licenses. The result is a state of paralysis, but the application of a dream retirement.

From the United Kingdom-based Clearpace recently unveiled a cloud-based data backup service called RainStor. RainStor the use of technology to solve the problem completely ignored the scale: an application for retirement. I have spoken via e-mail from the Department of Transportation Andy RainStor bin shaft to understand how this service works and the rationale.

Immediate application RainStor retirement services business in 3 steps:

1. E - data from any RDBMS automatically compressed by 40x or more, encrypted and sent to the clouds through the use of software on a client. Intense pressure, which significantly reduces the time and used to transport large quantities of data in the clouds.

2. Shop - encryption of data stored in a special file on the Amazon and is very safe for the available cloud storage (S3). And compressed format to the original proposal and the preservation of the RainStor able to take additional measures to layer Archives show any changes (such as adding or removing columns).

3. Search - high operating are calculated in the Amazon cloud (EC2) RainStor allows you to query any data industry standard reporting tools or twice through the ODBC or JDBC on the speed of lightning. "At a certain point in time query capabilities based on their ability to store the evolution of design changes.

RainStor to apply for a small service of $ 1 per gigabyte of data that is stored in the month of any obligations, including the Amazon basin, and the cost of storage. Clearpace also offers a free 90 day trial.

Given that the success of the diversity of hardware and software applications in the application pending the release of a document, and send the data contained in the "Paradise" in the clouds just does not seem to think
