Slony Support & Consultancy

Slony-I is an asynchronous master-slave replication system for the PostgreSQL DBMS, providing support for cascading and failover.Slony-I is a system designed for use at data centers and backup sites, where the normal mode of operation is that all nodes are available.Among the key Slony-I usage scenarios are database replication from the head office to various branches to reduce bandwidth usage or speed up database requests, database replication to offer load balancing in all instances, hot backup using a standby server or upgrades to a new release of PostgreSQL and database replication to offer high availability of database services.
