Build Embedded Systems to Run Reliably
It is possible to achieve excellent reliability with everyday commercial-quality embedded database software. Manufacturers frequently seek to build products that cannot be interrupted and do not want to experience data loss when a disaster occurs. Whether you are building applications for medical devices, industrial automation, automotive, or other industries, high availability of data is important.
The embedded and IoT approaches to developing highly available systems are considerably distinct from enterprise data management’s high availability approach. The restricted amount of space, performance, ease of configuring high availability, and memory available is the primary distinction between the enterprise and embedded methods.
When mission-critical embedded data becomes unavailable, the entire system can be threatened. Embedded systems benefit from features such as mirroring, failover, hot standby, and online backup with ITTIA DB. Support for high availability maximizes the protection and availability of data.
ITTIA DB & High availability
Ease of including high availability, great performance, and minimal overhead provide an outstanding uptime platform when developers embedded ITTIA DB. We have architected and designed a data management platform for building applications that need support for quick data recovery when there is a power failure or other disaster, so applications quickly and continuously process and manage data as soon as it becomes available. ITTIA DB’s important features include critical, real-time monitoring, replication, mirroring, and fault tolerance. Other data management benefits include increased reliability, higher security, and lower cost of data ownership.
ITTIA DB replication for embedded systems and IoT devices shares information between redundant devices to improve reliability, fault tolerance, or accessibility. The replication facilities in ITTIA DB make it easy to keep devices up to date with each other, even when connectivity is broken. When replication is enabled, changes to the database — row insert, update, or delete — are stored in the database log file.
ITTIA DB's high availability brings fault tolerance that ensures the consistency of data stored on edge devices. Fault tolerance use cases addressed by ITTIA DB include mitigating flash media failure with redundant local storage and providing standby servers for network clients. ITTIA DB mirroring can also cache a remote database to offload and reduce latency for read-only queries.
ITTIA DB’s added value for mission-critical systems is to make the data highly available and offer solutions when there is a power failure, catastrophic network failure, or maintenance issues.
ITTIA DB & Fault Tolerance
How to accomplish fault tolerance with a data management platform? Fault tolerance is implemented by using redundant instances of an embedded system to mitigate the effects of faults. A fault-tolerant design enables a system to continue its intended operation, possibly at a reduced level, rather than failing completely, when some part of the system fails.
Data loss in embedded systems leads to strange behavior and deteriorates the integrity and dependability of the system. There are numerous strategies available with ITTIA DB to make embedded systems resilient to temporarily survive a fault. ITTIA DB enables fault-tolerant applications with features such as Failover and Hot standby.
ITTIA DB & Disaster Recovery
Disaster recovery for embedded systems and IoT devices includes building highly available products to prevent data loss during a disaster. ITTIA DB offers a variety of choices, including backing up and recovering databases for log data, configuration parameters, and more.
Backups are created as part of a recovery strategy to restore data that has been corrupted. Because they frequently involve going back in time, database backups are more complicated. Due to the complexity of database systems, high availability must be adopted to reduce the amount of time needed to recover from a fault.
