Course Overview
Systems supporting cross-centre data replication fail in ways that are obvious afterwards and invisible before. The documentation for the practice within technology and systems delivery is accurate only until the next release. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this aspect of technology and systems delivery, not for observers of it. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about cross-centre data replication under scrutiny. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the technology and systems delivery discipline, not around theory headings. What blocks progress on the practice within technology and systems delivery is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Every module pairs a short input on cross-centre data replication with structured practice on the participant's own material. Mature organisations treat this part of technology and systems delivery as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The final session converts the week's work on this aspect of technology and systems delivery into commitments with owners and dates.
Expected Learning Outcomes
Control technical debt in cross-centre data replication deliberately rather than by neglect.
Select indicators that show whether cross-centre data replication is improving, and reject those that only look useful.
Compare the organisation's handling of cross-centre data replication with recognised practice, and close the material gaps.
Secure the software supply chain and dependencies within cross-centre data replication.
Establish escalation routes for cross-centre data replication that work outside normal hours.
Apply data protection and retention requirements within cross-centre data replication.
Who Should Attend
