Etere the Disaster Recovery System for ABS-CBN Philippines

25 February 2016

Etere has announced that ABS-CBN, the number one media network in Philippines has once again chosen Etere to deploy a disaster recovery system for its main channels.

Backed by a successful track record, Etere has been the broadcast solution provider for ABS-CBN for over 15 years. Committed to excellence in service integration, Etere has developed and deployed a multi-pronged disaster recovery system for ABS-CBN Philippines.

In November 2015, ABS-CBN Philippines will be equipped with a disaster recovery site in Cebu Province, Philippines that utilises Etere technology. The main SQL servers in Manila will be duplicated and synced seamlessly every 5 minutes with the disaster recovery site to ensure perfect alignment of any schedule modifications. Synchronisation settings can also be set to on demand.

This move ensures an automated, consistent and fast duplication of published playlists around the clock. The disaster recovery site which will be situated in Cebu province also serves as a physical redundancy that safeguards the data duplication process against unexpected failures such as earthquakes, flooding, and power outages.
