Data Management for Highly Available Embedded Systems
This article is an introduction to the field of highly available databases (HADBs), especially in the context of embedded systems. The ground work done at the Service Availability Forum is also presented. This paper also provides an overview of basic commercially available architectures together with various trade-offs achieved with the technology. A case study of applying an HADB to a telecom system is presented. The criteria for the behavior of a HADB compliant with the SA Forum's specifications are described. Finally, benefits and the prospects of the HADB technology are summarized.
