Rapid Recovery of Digital Broadcast Video
Scientific Atlanta's Disaster Recovery platform provides rapid cutover to a redundant system in the event of an interruption to digital services. Deploying a redundant backup system provides a reliable platform to support system maintenance and upgrade operations. Only Scientific Atlanta has a cable-centric disaster recovery platform, so there is no need to settle for other "solutions" that are pieced together from non-cable applications.
Benefits:
- Minimize disruption of digital broadcast video service.
- Facilitate effective coordination of recovery tasks.
- Reduce the complexity of the recovery effort.
Scientific Atlanta's Disaster Recovery system provides the ability to perform a switch-over to a standby headend and transmit video broadcast should a failure occur at the primary headend location. Our Disaster Recovery solution enables your system to survive a disaster associated with the loss of digital video, and to quickly re-establish normal business operations.
Critical Problems Solved with Disaster Recovery System:
- Automated synchronization of database and key files.
- Backup system acts as hot standby system.
- Automated failover from Primary system to Standby system with no equipment changes required.
- Automated database and keyfile backup with check to verify backup integrity.
The Disaster Recovery application helps to ensure reliable delivery of services to subscribers in the event of most incidents involving the primary digital headend - either through natural disaster or human error. With today's complex Digital Broadband Delivery Systems (DBDS), many factors – software or hardware failure, power interruptions, facilities damage, etc. - can impact your ability to deliver those services. Scientific Atlanta’s Disaster Recovery solution helps minimize the impact of these events and provides a live, up-to-date backup Digital Network Control System (DNCS) for rapid failover in the event of a primary DNCS failure.
