DSC Services Data
Management.
DSC uses
our centralized Data Trust Management system to ensure what goes in
to our system is exactly what comes out. What exactly is our
Data Trust Management sysytem. Well to start with our
system includes a centralized relational database (Microsoft SQL
Server 2000) that serves as the backbone for our database
system. The database resides on Dell poweredge servers which provide
excellent reliability and redundant systems to provide continuous
uptime. Our servers implement hardware based RAID 5
technology to prevent crashes in the unlikely event of a disk
failure. In addition to RAID systems, a DLT tape library backs
up the database ever day to ensure data availability.
Finally if that is not enough, the Backup tapes are stored in a
secure off-site location.
The
system also incorporates multiple software checks and balances to
ensure data accuracy. Some of these procedures include server
based stored procedures, and triggers that ensure the
referential integrity between tables in the database. Custom
DTS import/export programs that ensures the data arrives and leaves
as it is supposed to, and custom cleaning programs to ensure the
data is transformed correctly.
