Brian Centers SYM – 408 December 11, 2022 Professor Laurence Dean Data Distribution Strategy Data replication is vital in this environment for many reasons. First, as the enterprise has locations in both Phoenix and Denver, the data needs to be accessible in both locations. Also, with these two locations having access to the data, if modifications need to be made at one of the locations, the modifications need to be implemented at both locations to ensure that both locations have the latest, real-time data. Another reason why data replication is necessary for this environment is because if the data should be inaccessible at one of the locations for any reason, the other location will still be able to access the data and could relay any information to the other location. Finally, if the data is replicated at both locations, it will allow for the data to be accessed in a quicker timeframe compared to the data only being stored at one location. The first distributed database transparency that should be implemented into this environment is fragmentation transparency. This transparency will allow for users of the database to not know that the data has been fragmented. Secondly, location transparency should be applied to the environment. Although the user will know that the data has been fragmented with this transparency, they will not know the location of the fragmented data. Finally, replication transparency should be in this environment. When a user modifies data within the database, the
modification is replicated throughout all copies of the database, which is completely unknown to the user.
