Smart low-latency replication solution for poor connections

Some locations, such as drilling rigs or ships, lack reliable internet connections. How can you ensure an effective exchange of maintenance or other data with the head office, even with poor connections? There is a state-of-the-art low-latency replication solution for this now, suitable for synchronization of IBM Maximo data and virtually any other administration system.

Take the example of an offshore company with dozens of drilling rigs around the world. Each platform uses IBM Maximo and in addition several other administrative systems are in use. The only problem is that there aren’t any good internet connections to get data from the systems to the head office and vice versa. Occasionally a 4G or satellite connection will be available, but such a connection is not always stable and costs money for every megabyte transmitted.

Automated replication

With new, advanced, low-latency replication software from Gemba, you can effectively and cost-efficiently exchange maintenance and administrative data between this kind of offline locations and the head office. Gemba MaxSync© tracks changes to a system on both sides and replicates this data. The replicated data is compressed and sent as soon as an internet connection is available. Attachments such as inspection data, work instructions or invoices are included as well. If the process breaks down on the way, it stops automatically and restarts. This continues until the data on both sides is synchronized.

Controlled replication

The entire replication and synchronization process happens in the background, you don’t need to do anything about it. At the same time, the process is visually clear from each location at any time. With Gemba MaxSync©, you can see in near real time what the situation is and will always know whether synchronization has succeeded. You can also easily specify which data from a location you want to be replicated or not. This way you can combine convenience with control.

Also for IBM Maximo Application Suite and other systems

Gemba MaxSync© – based on a globally proven technology – is widely applicable. You can connect with most databases and therefore with many systems. In addition to IBM Maximo, this is for example IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS), but also financial or other administrative systems. The replication software from Gemba is cross-platform, it doesn’t matter whether you use Windows or Linux systems. Moreover, this ‘lightweight’ solution does not require additional infrastructure. With the standard templates developed by Gemba, we will replicate your data quickly as well.
