The database cutover strategy is usually tightly coupled with the downtime requirements for the application. Strategies that you can use for the database cutover include offline migration, flash-cut migration, active/active database configuration, and incremental migration. These are discussed in the following sections.
Flash-Cut
Active/active database configuration involves setting up a mechanism to keep the source and target databases in sync while both databases are being used for write traffic. This strategy involves more work than offline or flash-cut migration, but it also provides more flexibility during migration. For example, in addition to experiencing minimal downtime during migration, you can move your production traffic to the new database in small, controlled batches instead of performing a one-time cutover. You can either perform dual write operations so that changes are made to both databases, or use a bi-directional replication tool like HVR to keep the databases in sync. This strategy has a higher complexity in terms of setup and maintenance, so more testing is required to avoid data consistency issues.
As a leading manufacturer of flash-cut gaskets and sealing products, we draw on our experience to produce high-quality precision products that meet or exceed the most stringent industry standards and tolerance specifications. Our advanced flash-cutting equipment also enables us to meet demanding production volumes ranging from low-volume prototypes to high-volume batches without affecting product quality.
Flash cutting creates complex and intricate shapes more efficiently than die-cutting procedures. During the flash-cutting process, a dieless oscillating knife cuts through flexible materials at various depths. Flash cutters are highly versatile and can perform a wide range of cutting operations including depth cutting, engraving, milling, plotting, kiss cutting, and creasing.
We offer a full suite of computer-automated flash-cutting processes. We integrate our cutting equipment with computer-aided design and manufacturing systems (CADs/CAMs, respectively), allowing us to manufacture gasket and sealing parts with little to no manual involvement. We work with numerous CAD formats including .DWG and .DXF files, which our CAM software then uses to deliver specific code-based directives to our flash-cutting CNC machine.
The dieless knife-cutting system allows us to create a diverse array of custom sealing components from many different flexible materials including foams, rubbers/elastomers, plastics, cork, sponge, and silicone. Custom Gasket Mfg. maintains a high standard of excellence for its products. Our team is committed to providing high-quality, precision flash-cut gaskets and sealing products that meet or exceed industry and client specifications.
CNC flash cut parts from Blaylock Gasket are accurate, affordable, and available. In fact, we can often ship flash-cut parts the same or next day. For turnkey parts sure to exceed your expectations, please see a BG&P associate and ask about this high-tolerance process.
