Information2 Powers Hebei Financial System’s “Same-City Dual-Active + Remote Disaster Recovery” System

In the wave of digital transformation, Information2, with its exceptional data disaster recovery and backup solution, has built an unbreakable data security wall for the Hebei financial system, significantly enhancing its business continuity and jointly opening a new chapter in data security and business development.

Customer Challenges

With the continuous penetration of digital construction in various production fields, Hebei’s financial business has also ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. However, as business grows, data risks also emerge. To support the sustainable development of financial business, improving data disaster recovery construction has become a top priority. According to the Hebei Provincial Finance Department’s three-year work plan for information construction and the requirements for the construction of an integrated financial business system, Hebei’s financial system urgently needs to build a stable, efficient, and flexible data disaster recovery system to ensure business continuity and data security.

I2 Solution

In response to the actual needs of Hebei’s financial system, Information2 designed a “Same-City Dual-Active + Remote Disaster Recovery” construction solution. This solution leverages Information2’s core technologies to provide a comprehensive and efficient data disaster recovery solution for the Hebei Provincial Finance Department and its eleven prefectural-level cities.

Same-City Dual-Active Construction: Information2’s i2Active technology is used for local fault-tolerant dual-active construction of the core database system. Through this technology, even in the event of a catastrophic incident, second-level takeover can be achieved to ensure the continuity of systems at both municipal and provincial levels.
Remote Disaster Recovery Construction: Data from the eleven prefectural-level cities is synchronized to the provincial disaster recovery data area in real-time through Information2’s data replication technology. This measure not only ensures data security but also improves business continuity.
Cross-Platform Compatibility and Cost Optimization: Addressing the issue of different operating system platforms and database versions between Hebei’s financial system and the data disaster recovery area, Information2 provides cross-operating system platform/database version disaster recovery replication technology. This technology enables real-time synchronization of core production database data to the disaster recovery database, reducing hardware costs and facilitating database version upgrades and iterations.

Solution Effects

Decentralized Management and Simplified Operations and Maintenance: The province-wide database disaster recovery platform is built using Information2’s i2UP unified management platform, enabling multi-tenant decentralized management and operations and maintenance across prefecture-level cities. The fully graphical interface monitoring makes operations and maintenance more intuitive and simpler, significantly improving operational efficiency.

Stable Operation and Excellent Performance: Information2’s full/incremental synchronization performance is excellent, with low transactional replication latency, achieving second-level RPO (Recovery Point Objective). This performance ensures rapid data recovery after a disaster, safeguarding business continuity.

Separation of Primary and Backup Databases, Enhancing Efficiency: Without affecting the source-end business, Information2 enables read-write separation between the primary and backup databases. The backup database, which is always in an open state, can handle query tasks, reducing the reporting business access pressure on the primary database and improving the overall system’s operational efficiency.

Flexible Cross-Platform Compatibility: Information2’s cross-operating system platform/database version disaster recovery replication technology enables seamless integration from Unix systems to Linux systems. This technology not only reduces hardware costs but also enhances system flexibility and scalability.
