Replicating success

Andrei Olin

We recently had the pleasure of working with one of our trusted partners, Timspark, an IT Services Provider, with a solid track record of deploying bTrade’s TDXchange for several of its clients. Timspark reached out to us for help with a critical data replication issue faced by one of its major clients.

The client operates both on-prem and cloud infrastructure, along with a disaster recovery (DR) environment. The client was frequently running into problems replicating data between these systems, which posed a serious risk to their operations and DR processes.

Understanding the Challenge

Timspark needed a solution that could securely and efficiently handle data replication across multiple environments, including on-prem to cloud and production to DR sites. The goal was not just to transfer data, but to replicate it in a way that maintained integrity, security, and reliability—especially for large-scale transfers involving terabytes of data. Given our strong relationship, Timspark knew that bTrade’s TDXchange would be a great fit for this challenge.

Deploying TDXchange for Seamless Data Replication

bTrade’s TDXchange offers a unique solution that combines Managed File Transfer (MFT) capabilities with robust data replication features. It supports replication using standard SFTP for smaller files and bTrade’s proprietary Accelerated File Transfer protocol for larger data sets. This flexibility was exactly what the client needed to ensure seamless replication across their infrastructure.

The deployment process was straightforward. Our team worked closely with Timspark and their client to design and implement an optimal solution tailored to the client’s specific needs. The setup was quick and smooth, thanks to TDXchange’s easy installation and comprehensive, use-case-specific documentation.

Key Benefits of TDXchange

The results were impressive. TDXchange enabled the client to replicate data reliably across their on-prem, cloud, and DR environments. Here’s what made the solution stand out:

  • Seamless Replication for All File Sizes: Whether it was small files via SFTP or terabytes of data using Accelerated File Transfer, TDXchange handled it all effortlessly.
  • Complete Visibility and Control: Intuitive dashboards provided full visibility into the replication process which made it easy to monitor and manage.
  • Audit Trails and Security: To give the client peace of mind and compliance readiness, detailed logs ensured that every replication could be tracked.
  • Retry and Alert Features: In case a node went down, the system automatically retried transfers and sent alerts to ensure minimal disruption.

A Trusted Solution

Thanks to the strong collaboration between bTrade, Timspark, and its client, the data replication issues were resolved efficiently. TDXchange not only delivered a secure and reliable solution but also provided the flexibility and scalability needed to handle the client’s growing data demands.

This project is a testament to the power of partnerships and the value of a robust solution like TDXchange. Whether it’s for secure file transfers or complex data replication, bTrade is proud to support our partners in delivering exceptional results for their clients.
