A company release explains that the disaster recovery system is
an integrated solution that uses redundant, external servers that
are in a TWC remote facility instead of being co-located in the
Manhattan head-ends.
This separation provides greater protection for TWC's ability to
deliver programming and helps to assure a rapid, transparent switchover
to the backup equipment. The redundant servers will monitor the
activities of TWC Manhattan's primary SA Digital Network Control
System (DNCS).
As the Manhattan DNCS is updated, the backup system will synchronize
its content to match that on the primary DNCS to deliver fast, accurate
restoration of service.
The release quoted Larry Bradner, senior vice-president and president
of SA's SciCare(tm) Broadband Services Group as saying, "This
recovery solution embodies our philosophy for assisting the MSOs;
it helps to address a service issue that is critical to the operator's
success."
SciCare Broadband Services is the system integrator, professional
services, and consulting arm of Scientific-Atlanta that provides
the technical resources to help cable operators meet their business
and technical needs.
