Problems solved by technology

However, once the primary storage repository fails, the data warehouse cannot continue to collect new data.
Accordingly, any new data transmitted to the data warehouse would be lost, or the data processing system may have to shut down.
Although a shared-nothing environment potentially allows for continued data collection in the event of a failure, the costs involved in providing and maintaining multiple servers for storage redundancy are prohibitive for many potential users.
Accordingly, a clustered database approach may not present an affordable solution for many data warehouse applications.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]As described above, aspects of the present invention may be embodied in a WWW or Web site accessible via the Internet. As is well known to those skilled in the art, the term “Internet” refers to the collection of networks and routers that use the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (“TCP / IP”) to communicate with one another. A representative section of the Internet 20 is shown in FIG. 1, where a plurality of local area networks (“LANs”) 24 and a WAN 26 are interconnected by routers 22. The routers 22 are special purpose computers used to interface one LAN or WAN to another. Communication links within the LANs may be wireless, twisted wire pair, coaxial cable, or optical fiber, while communication links between networks may utilize 56 Kbps analog telephone lines, 1 Mbps digital T-1 lines, 45 Mbps T-3 lines or other communications links known to those skilled in the art.

[0020]Furthermore, computers 28 and other related electronic devices can be remotely connected to ...

Abstract

A method and system utilizing one or more data generating computing devices as default data warehouses in the event of a primary data warehouse failure are provided. A data warehouse provides an environment in which data from one or more data servers in one or more locations, or premises, is aggregated in a central database. In the event of a system failure, in which communication between the data warehouse and one or more servers is disrupted, a warehouse ticket file, stored on secure, distributed ticket servers, is used to identify and initialize at least one of the data servers as a failover data warehouse. Once communication between the premises and its primary data warehouse is restored, the data collected during the failover is transferred to the primary data warehouse and purged from the failover data warehouse.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 371,273, entitled System and Method for Providing A Fault-Tolerant Data Warehouse Environment, and filed on Apr. 9, 2002. U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 371,273 is incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to data storage systems, and in particular, to a method for providing fault-tolerant data warehousing.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Generally described, most corporate and governmental entities utilize computer systems, computer networks, and integrated devices that generate vast amounts of electronic data. In some cases, data is generated, processed, and discarded after serving an intended purpose. In other cases, corporate, governmental, or other entities require that data be stored and maintained for future use. Such storage methods and systems may be generically referred to as “archival.” Accor...
