Continuous Cloud Data Integration
A Data Integration Solution Built for the Cloud
Looking to integrate data into or within the cloud? Organizations often employ our solution for migrating and integrating:
- Data stores from on-premises solutions to a new cloud platform (hybrid cloud)
- Data between multiple databases in the same cloud solution (intra-cloud)
- Data between two separate cloud solutions (inter-cloud)
Read on to learn how HVR is a unique cloud data integration solution that provides you the flexibility, performance, and control you need in your cloud environments.
HVR has proven its stability and robustness. HVR guarantees secure delivery of all our data. These aspects are even more important in running operations based on cloud solutions.– Post NL, Cloud Solution Architect
Flexible Data Movement for Continuous Cloud Data Integrations
HVR Supports a variety of topologies and gives you the freedom to move your data bi-and multi-directionally
Organizations choose HVR because of the flexibility HVR provides them. HVR has a distributed architecture that gives you control of your environment. HVR supports a variety of topologies, which gives you flexibility in how you design your environment. The distributed architecture maintains the state of every replication channel and route data from one or more sources to one or more targets in unidirectional, bidirectional, or multidirectional setups.

High Performance for Cloud Data Integration
As your organization moves applications from your on-premises data centers to the cloud, you must continue to deliver the same high performance your users have come to expect. Yet the cloud environment is subject to network communications issues that can cause performance and latency problems. These issues are compounded when uncompressed data volumes are large or arrive rapid-fire and must be integrated quickly. To address these issues, HVR includes capabilities that improves performance. These capabilities include replicating only incremental changes in a non-invasive manner to minimize the load on sources and targets. HVR also minimizes network bandwidth utilization by providing advanced data compression based on proprietary algorithms and specific knowledge of data structures.
Secure and Reliable Cloud Data Integration
Secure Cloud Data Integration
Because public clouds are multi-tenant, they require added security to keep client data segregated and secure. Data protection should be an integral part of any cloud data integration solution. HVR incorporates data encryption on the wire to safeguard against eavesdropping and authentication to guard against the misuse of services. Support for two-way SSL encryption ensures that data delivery will not be compromised and that source and target data are authentic. HVR not only includes data encryption but also includes flexible options for how data is moved so that firewalls are not open to vulnerabilities.
Reliability in the Cloud
Data integration services need to be able to handle cloud outages, maintain integrity, and resume without manual intervention. HVR addresses these issues through two mechanisms. One with backup metadata. And the other mechanism is the primary hub and the backup hub, which shares a disk to make the transaction and state files available on the failover server.

Supported Cloud Platforms
HVR can be installed on the following Cloud Platforms:
HVR also supports supported databases and file systems running on an IAAS / PAAS environment, including (virtualized) environments provided by the cloud vendor. These environments include Oracle Cloud IaaS and Google Cloud IaaS.
CASE STUDY: PostNL Uses HVR to operate 100% in the Cloud
An early adopter of cloud-based data services, PostNL migrated their entire IT infrastructure to the Azure cloud using HVR.
Step 1: Migrate to the Cloud
PostNL strives to deliver logistics services at a low cost. To maintain its competitive edge, the company decided to commoditize its infrastructure and applications by decommissioning its on-premises data centers and moving its IT operations to the cloud. PostNL wanted to migrate not only its existing applications, which run on Oracle and SQL Server, but also its infrastructure and IT management and operations to the new platform.
HVR’s unique approach greatly simplified PostNL’s migration process. HVR enabled PostNL to implement a “lift and shift” approach. With HVR installed on each data platform, PostNL could simply move each database to the cloud and then redefine its location in HVR without having to alter the application. This approach meant it was easy to move applications to the cloud one-by-one while maintaining existing integrations.
Step 2: Continuous Cloud Integration
Once applications were in the cloud, PostNL needed to integrate across cloud platforms. To address this challenge, PostNL deployed a cloud-based HVR integration service. Adopted in the summer of 2014, this service operates as a cloud integration hub for PostNL, connecting all of its cloud-based solutions.
