Abstract

In the event of a disaster, it is essential to establish a disaster recovery plan and disaster recovery system to minimize disruption to major IT infrastructure and provide continuous business services. In the process of building a disaster recovery system, data replication is a key element of data recovery to provide uninterrupted and continuous business services in the event of a disaster. The data replication method can be determined depending on the system configuration environment and disaster recovery goal level. In this paper, we present a method for determining a data replication method suitable for the configuration environment and disaster recovery target level when building a disaster recovery system. In addition, the replication method decision procedure is applied to build a disaster recovery system and analyze the construction results. After establishing the disaster recovery system, a test was conducted to determine whether the service was transferred to the disaster recovery center in a disaster situation and normal service was provided, and the results were analyzed. As a result, it was possible to systematically select the optimal data replication method during the disaster recovery system construction phase. The established disaster recovery system has an RTO of 3.7 hours for service conversion to the disaster recovery center to provide continuous business services, and the disaster recovery level, which was Tier 2, has been improved to the target level within 4 hours of RTO and RPO=0.

재해 발생 시 주요 IT 인프라 중단을 최소화하고 연속적인 비즈니스 서비스를 제공하기 위한 재해복구 계획 및 재해복구시스템의 구축은 반드시 필요하다. 재해복구시스템 구축과정에서 데이터 복제는 재해 발생 시 중단 없는 연속적인 비즈니스 서비스 제공을 위한 데이터 복구의 핵심요소로 데이터 복제방식은 시스템 구성환경과 재해복구 목표수준에 따라 결정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 재해복구시스템 구축에서 구성환경과 재해복구 목표수준에 적합한 데이터 복제방식 결정 방안에 대해 제시한다. 또한 복제방식 결정 절차를 적용하여 재해복구시스템을 구축하고 구축 결과를 분석한다. 재해복구시스템 구축 후 재해 상황에서 재해복구센터로 서비스가 전환, 정상적인 서비스가 진행되는지를 판단하기 위한 모의 테스트를 진행하고 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 재해복구시스템 구축 단계에서는 체계적으로 최적의 데이터 복제방식의 선정이 가능했다. 구축된 재해복구시스템은 연속적인 비즈니스 서비스 제공을 위해 재해복구센터로 서비스 전환되는 시간 RTO는 3.7시간으로, Tier 2였던 재해복구 수준이 목표수준 RTO 4시간 이내, RPO=0으로 개선되었다.
