Re: HDR for Enterprise DR solution?

Posted By: Informix DBA

In Response To: Re: HDR for Enterprise DR solution? (Fernando Nunes)

Fernando,

Thank you for your feedback. We are most concerned with the stability of
the servers and replication i.e. not having servers crash. Our DB's are
logged and have avoided using raw tables (IIRC). We are most interested in
discovering if other customers are using the HDR / RSS as an enterprise
solution with high-end hardware i.e. fast processors and a heavily used
OLTP DB with 2,000 + concurrent sessions.

Thank you,

David
