Design of Reliable Disaster Recovery System through Integrated Server Redundancy

Even before the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States in 2001, information systems prepared against disasters in Korea were extremely weak. However, as various domestic and foreign accident cases have occurred, it is recognized that preparations for this are necessary. Accordingly, at present, each institution has prepared and implemented various backup policies to protect the institution's information and data in case of disaster. Therefore, in this paper, we conducted a study to design a more stable and efficient disaster recovery system by building redundancy for server operating in integrated data center. To do this, we analyzed the redundancy design for the integrated disaster recovery server and designed the overall system configuration. Also, the design results were analyzed by testing web server redundancy and switch redundancy. In this paper, the proposed design method for stabilization and efficiency of disaster recovery system is the redundant construction of integrated server and switch. In other words, the disaster recovery system was composed of active storage and standby storage, and data stabilization was promoted through real-time replication of each other. In the existing disaster recovery system, there is a problem in stabilizing replication because there is no monitoring system for internal replication between storage arrays. To solve this problem, we designed a system that replicates all data in active storage to standby storage in real time and monitors the replication status. Therefore, introducing service conversion automation from the main system, which is the method designed in this paper, to the disaster recovery system, improves the stability and reliability of the service of the local governments, so that it is possible to operate a more efficient and advanced disaster recovery system.
