GBASE and Information2 Software Complete Mutual Compatibility Certification

Published on 2020-12-18

Recently, the GBase 8s secure database management system [GBase 8s] completed compatibility testing and certification with Shanghai Information2 Software Inc. (Information2 Software)'s i2COOPY data backup and recovery software [i2COOPY], i2CDP continuous data protection and recovery software [i2CDP], i2Availability high-availability disaster recovery management software [i2Availability], and i2Move system migration software [i2Move]. After rigorous joint testing, the products from both sides can seamlessly adapt, maintain excellent compatibility, and run stably.

Shanghai Information2 Software Inc. (Information2 Software) is a foundational software company focused on data replication, dedicated to the R&D and promotion of core technologies such as dynamic file replication and database replication. Its products are widely used in disaster recovery, data protection, cloud data management, and other fields, helping various users break down data silos, achieve data interconnection, and safeguard the development of the digital economy. Facing the data era, Information2 Software provides personalized services through Data+, enabling data to empower business growth.

The certified i2COOPY is a byte-level real-time replication software, widely used for real-time disaster recovery and backup protection of file systems, database systems, email systems, etc. By deploying a lightweight client on the production server, it captures byte-level increments in real time and transmits them to the disaster recovery server. i2CDP (Continuous Data Protection) replicates changing data to the disaster recovery server in real time, while recording data changes in a log. In the event of a system failure, based on the data change log, it quickly locates the recovery point and restores data to a point before the anomaly with one click, ensuring data security and business continuity. For example, after a ransomware attack, it can restore to any point before the infection with one click. i2Availability is an application-level high-availability protection software. At the data layer, it captures production data in real time based on disk mirroring and replicates it to the disaster recovery server; at the application layer, it monitors the running status in real time. If an anomaly occurs (such as service stop, network anomaly, hardware failure, system crash) causing business unavailability, it switches the application to the disaster recovery server, achieving business continuity through application takeover. i2Move is an online hot migration software for entire servers, simplifying migration. Without downtime, it migrates the operating system, applications, and user data with one click; migration time is predictable, and after completion, the new host seamlessly takes over the entire server.
