The presentation, led by Bill, focuses on managing downtime both planned and unplanned using Shareplex for near real-time data replication and maintaining high availability in critical systems. It covers strategies to minimize risks, ensure data quality, and future-proof environments. Key topics include the challenges of always-on data infrastructure, the importance of understanding service level agreements, and the handling of unsupported data types during replication.
Brunt discusses the steps involved in achieving high availability, such as activation, instantiation, and validation, while emphasizing the need for familiarity with Shareplex to fully benefit from the presentation. He explains the processes of managing database migrations, the significance of failback plans, and the concept of zero downtime through active-active configurations.
The session also highlights the advantages of using SharePlex, including reduced migration efforts and the ability to conduct live testing with real transactions. Bill encourages attendees to gather information about their specific environments and to utilize SharePlex's capabilities to enhance their data infrastructure.
