High DR Costs
High hardware costs: To build a data center, customers need to prepare infrastructure including equipment rooms, cabinets, and servers. High O&M costs: Customers need to assign dedicated O&M personnel to maintain this infrastructure. This incurs high costs. Low resource utilization: The compute and storage resources at the DR site are in an idle state for a long time.High hardware costs: To build a data center, customers need to prepare infrastructure including equipment rooms, cabinets, and servers.

Difficult DR
Long construction period: The DR center construction consists of many phases, such as site selection, infrastructure construction, and facility preparing, which takes a long time. Poor scalability: DR resources cannot be elastically scaled. As a result, they cannot cope with speedy service and data increase. High technical requirements: Many services are provided by the production system, and the system architecture is complicated, involving various vendors and heterogeneous environments. Building DR systems for such production systems requires rich DR experience and strong capabilities.Long construction period: The DR center construction consists of many phases, such as site selection, infrastructure construction, and facility preparing, which takes a long time.

Difficult DR Management
Long DR process: Dedicated O&M personnel are required to maintain the DR system. The DR procedure is complicated. Complicated DR drills: The DR scenarios and requirements vary according to service scenarios.Long DR process: Dedicated O&M personnel are required to maintain the DR system.

Database DR
Asynchronous sequential transmission between databases ensures consistent DR of databases and various data, applications, and systems, thereby providing high service reliability and continuity.
Consistent fine-grained data protection is provided. The system can be rapidly restored to any point of time if a disaster occurs.
When the production site is functional, servers at the DR site do not need to start.
Data is encrypted and then transmitted. Resumable data transfer is used to ensure data consistency.
Traditional service application architectures and mainstream databases are supported, including MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle RAC, and SAP HANA.

With multi-AZ deployment, intra-city active-active DR, remote DR assurance, and visualized DR GUI, Huawei helped Vmall enhance service availability and simplify O&M. Vmall can now easily cope with demand during flash sales, hacker attacks, and high O&M costs. -
Local IDC + Hybrid Cloud Disaster Recovery from Huawei reduced DR costs and shortened the project construction period. With this solution, BRC can now implement cross-AZ DR and perform DR drills at any time.
