At Info2Soft, we specialize in enterprise data protection and replication, helping businesses achieve seamless data management, real-time synchronization, and robust disaster recovery. Our innovative platforms, such as i2Stream, i2CDM, i2Availability, and i2CDP, are designed to address complex data challenges in dynamic environments. Below, we highlight two case studies from leading manufacturing companies, demonstrating how our solutions deliver efficiency, reliability, and business continuity.
Heterogeneous Data Synchronization for a Dairy Giant
User Needs and Challenges: A leading dairy products company requires ever-higher data timeliness from downstream systems and business departments to support enterprise development decisions. All business data must be synchronized to the big data platform. To minimize the substantial time required for syncing over 1 million tables from multiple data sources to the data lake, a real-time synchronization tool leveraging CDC (Change Data Capture) technology is essential for handling vast amounts of data efficiently.
Implementation Solution: By utilizing the heterogeneous data flow replication management feature in Info2Soft’s unified data management platform (i2Stream), we established 44 synchronization links using heterogeneous database synchronization pathways. These links cover over 1 million tables across the group’s two primary business databases, ERP and PLMS. This approach enhances the efficiency of heterogeneous data synchronization for the group, rapidly meets upper-level business departments’ demands for high data real-time performance, and includes page-based management alerts along with clear link visualizations—making unified management straightforward for maintenance teams.
User Benefits: The group leverages Info2Soft’s heterogeneous database synchronization functionality (powered by CDC real-time synchronization technology) through intuitive web-based operations. Initialization and replication are simple, requiring no additional tools, and enable seamless, automatic integration of full and incremental data syncing. By setting replication rules at the database, user, or table level, it fulfills requirements for real-time database synchronization. This empowers users to handle diverse tasks in complex environments, including multi-database replication, heterogeneous data migration, business data distribution, large-scale data warehouse construction, and data lake integration.
Tiered Disaster Recovery Protection for an Automotive Giant
User Needs and Challenges: An automotive company based in a southern province of China faces potential disruptions from natural disasters, such as typhoons driven by the Western Pacific subtropical high and floods. In daily operations, unforeseen issues like logical errors, hardware failures, and ransomware attacks can severely impact production systems, logistics systems, and critical data. Additionally, compliance with security regulations—such as Graded Protection 2.0, the Cybersecurity Law, and the Data Security Law—demands standardized information security management to support the company’s digital transformation.
Implementation Solution:
- Full Server Copy Technology: Using Info2Soft i2CDM, we implement strategies for real-time or scheduled capture of production data changes, rapidly replicating data to the target site. During recovery, multiple data replicas can be virtualized from snapshots, enabling minute-level emergency takeovers for read-write operations. This supports various scenarios, including disaster recovery drills, development testing, and data analysis.
- Disaster Recovery High Availability Technology: Info2Soft i2Availability continuously monitors the operational status of production servers. If a failure renders business systems unavailable, the platform triggers alerts, allowing administrators to manually or automatically switch applications to takeover servers in the disaster recovery center—ensuring key business continuity.
- Data Rollback Technology: Info2Soft i2CDP replicates changed data in real-time to the disaster recovery server while logging changes. In the event of a system failure, logs enable quick identification of recovery points, with one-click restoration to a state prior to the anomaly.
User Benefits: The solution delivers tiered disaster recovery protection tailored to the distinct needs of the manufacturing execution system (MES) and logistics execution system (LES). It provides whole-machine protection and replica restoration for stateless application virtual machines, along with real-time data replica high availability for database hosts—effectively reducing Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) values. Beyond that, Info2Soft’s tiered disaster recovery plan ensures that, in the event of production server failures or downtime in MES or LES, application environments can be swiftly restored via i2CDM and database environments via i2Availability. This enables immediate remote business system takeover, guaranteeing uninterrupted operations.
