RTR Continuous Computing Concepts
RTR Continuous Computing Concepts
RTR provides a continuous computing environment that is particularly valuable in financial transactions, for example in banking, stock trading, or passenger reservations systems. RTR satisfies many requirements of a continuous computing environment:
•Reliability
•Failure tolerance
•Data and transaction integrity
•Scalability
•Ease of building and maintaining applications
•Interoperability with multiple operating systems
RTR additionally provides the following capabilities, essential in the demanding transaction processing environment:
•Flexibility
•Parallel execution at the transaction level
•Potential for
•Comprehensive monitoring tools
•Management station for single console system management
•WAN deployability
RTR also ensures that transactions have the ACID properties. A transaction with the ACID properties has the following attributes:
•Atomic
•Consistent
•Isolated
•Durable
For more details on transactional ACID properties, see the discussion later in this document, and in the RTR Application Design Guide.
