Explain the dispiplines
Multi datacenter – have to move the data to each place, latency etc.
Data is replicated via home grown db replication versus built in database replication like Streams, golden gate. Databases and data is duplicated at each data center
First of all we need a global Zone (s) and local zones
ZFS is the file system that allows the zones to function and provide the tools used in snapshots, cloning and restores
Note – remind them that a load balancer fits between the url and the web servers
Negotiated a deal to use the prior nights backup file versus a fresh copy !
