“It started with a simple upgrade…” That’s what they all said. Product said: “Just switch to a new architecture.” Business said: “Just copy the data over.” Leadership said: “It’s simple, go live ASAP.” Only we in tech knew—we were in trouble. Because data migration sounds like copy-paste, but feels more like open-heart surgery. Nothing is easy to migrate. 20+ systems, over a dozen databases—Oracle, MongoDB, HDFS, shared disks—you name it, we had it. We were reverse-engineering schemas, testing tools, and before we even started migrating, the whole thing was already chaos. Classic issues hit one after another: Data mismatch Fields were a mess. Keys were missing. Docs were outdated. “Why are 30,000 users gone?” “They’re not gone—you counted deactivated users.” […]

Who Can Relate? Sync Engineers Are Always on the Edge of a Meltdown  Take our project team as an example: every time we bring up “data synchronization,” the meeting room feels like a ticking time bomb. We argue more than we discuss. The DBA, cold as the backend code, says: “Don’t touch the source database! If the business crashes, it’s on you.” The project manager slams his pen: “The go-live date is fixed in the PPT—if it doesn’t launch today, my performance review will tank!” Ops shouts: “The full sync took 7 hours and maxed out the CPU. Do you even know that?” Amidst the chaos, the boss calmly drops: “Let’s cool down. Launch Monday.” Silence. We thought the problem […]

One Morning, A Nightmare Unfolds at Company A “All our project files are .locked!” “The finance system is down!” In a matter of seconds, Company A was plunged into a ransomware disaster. Their firewall, EDR, and threat detection systems were all in place—yet none of them stopped the attack… When it comes to ransomware, many companies believe piling on tools is the answer—firewalls, antivirus, EDR, XDR, threat detection… layer upon layer of security. But the result? Overcomplicated systems and overwhelmed IT teams. And when an attack strikes, those layers often become layers of failure. Xiaolin from the IT department boots up his workstation. His email won’t open, and every project folder is showing a strange.lockedextension. Moments later, a red warning […]

In the Digital Age, Data Is the Lifeblood—And Enterprises Are Giants Running Through It In today’s digital era, data flows like blood—keeping every part of an enterprise alive and moving. But when the data flow slows down, gets stuck, or breaks, operations become like a blindfolded giant stumbling in the dark. This is especially true in SAP HANA environments, where pushing data in real time to Kafka message queues becomes a high-difficulty challenge. As a leading gas energy enterprise, this company is committed to enhancing operational efficiency and decision-making through digital transformation. However, as its business expanded, it faced a growing need for real-time synchronization of massive production data—particularly seamless, efficient data sync between its SAP HANA database and Kafka […]

Is Storage Snapshot Enough for Data Protection? Is Remote Data Replication Truly Foolproof? Does Every Piece of Data Require Real-Time Protection? In today’s digital era, data has become one of the most valuable assets for enterprises. Whether in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, or the internet industry, efficient data protection and management are essential. Enterprise data protection relies on three core technologies: data replication, snapshots, and backup. But what are their differences? How do they function? And how should businesses combine them for optimal protection? Data Replication: Real-Time Synchronization for Data Consistency Data replication refers to real-time or near-real-time copying of data from one storage device to another. At its core, data replication ensures multiple copies of data remain highly consistent by […]

In the wave of digital transformation, enterprise document management faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Decentralized storage, complex permission management, and potential security risks are testing the resilience of enterprises.  Documents scattered across shared directories, external hard drives, FTP servers, personal cloud storage, and other locations make efficient management and collaboration difficult. Issues such as ransomware, accidental deletions, and other security threats can lead to document loss or damage, posing serious risks to data integrity. Chaotic document version management and lack of effective permission controls result in inefficiencies. Documents are not effectively retained or utilized, hindering the development of an enterprise knowledge base. To address these challenges, i2Share File Sharing and Management Platform leverages Information2’s file-level data capture technology and continuous data protection […]

China’s rapidly evolving internet application technology is accelerating the development of an internet – commerce – centred ecosystem. To provide users with round – the – clock services, businesses must ensure the stable operation of their shopping websites, especially during peak events like the “Double 11” Shopping Festival. Thus, business continuity management (BCM) is gaining prominence across various industries, including e-commerce. Over the past decade, BCM has been increasingly applied in large Chinese enterprises in sectors like finance and telecommunications. However, its use remains concentrated in a few key areas, with many other industries still lacking sufficient awareness of its importance for their survival and development. In fact, during major disasters such as the Wenchuan earthquake, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina, […]
