Data

• Data are a collection of statistics and facts
  that is meant for analysis. Data can be
  collected, measured, reported and analysed. Data
  are used in business management, scientific
  research and in many organizational activities.
• To digress, the data of websites are stored on
  the servers of web hosting companies and are
  delivered from there over the Internet, upon
  request. This is necessary for websites to be
  accessible over the Internet. The most reliable
  web hosting companies are often referred to as
  the Best Web Hosting Company or as the Top
  Cloud Hosting Company or as the Best Windows
  Hosting Company etc.

Data Synchronization

• Data Synchronization refers to the process which
  involves establishing and maintaining consistency
  among systems and the subsequent updates, which
  are continuous. Data synchronization is neither a
  one-off task nor a one-way operation. It is a
  process and hence needs proper planning,
  ownership, management and scheduling along with
  adequate control.
• Data synchronization makes sure that data is not
  only accurate but also secure and consistent
  throughout the records of data. Any modification
  of data must be updated on each system in
  real-time in order to avoid mistakes and avert
  privacy breaches.
• This process ensures successful experiences for
  internal teams and customers by assuring
  congruence among each datas source and its
  various endpoints. The incoming data is checked
  for errors, duplication and inconsistency prior
  to being used. When data synchronization is
  executed at the local level, it involves devices
  that are next to each other. On the other hand,
  remote synchronization happens over a mobile
  network. Data synchronization ensures continuous
  consistency of records and its importance is
  increasing with the constant increase in
  accessibility to data that is cloud-based.

Data Synchronizations Benefits to
Organizations

• With proper implementation of data
  synchronization throughout a system, an
  organization can ensure enhanced performance in
  areas that include the following-
• Accuracy of invoices
• Business systems
• Order management
• Productivity of sales team
• Logistics and transportation
• Cost-efficiency
• Maintaining its reputation

Overall Benefits of Data Synchronization

• There are many benefits of data synchronization,
  which are mentioned below.
• It saves time
• Allows greater emphasis on marketing, strategic
  decision-making, new product development
• Availability of real-time information that is
  up-to-date for global interaction of business
  users
• Availability of the latest data for making
  important decisions
• Manufacturers have access to updated data,
  enabling better designing and production
• Distributors can access the most recent product
  and marketing related data

8
Phases in Data Synchronization

• There are five phases that are involved in the
  successful synchronization of data. These phases
  are mentioned below.
• Data extraction from its source
• Data Transfer
• Data Transformation
• Data Transfer
• Data loading to target
• The end result gets impacted if any of the
  above-mentioned five phases are either missed or
  remain incomplete.

Types of Data Synchronization

• The different types of data synchronization are
  mentioned below, in no particular order.
• File Synchronization- This type of
  synchronization is faster as well as more
  accurate in comparison with a manual copy
  technique. It is usually used in home backups and
  for updating portable data via flash drive or in
  external hard drives. File synchronization makes
  sure that multiple locations are able to share
  the same data. Moreover, it occurs automatically
  as well as prevents identical files duplication.
• Distributed File Systems- For multiple file
  versions to be synced simultaneously on different
  devices, those devices need to be connected for a
  distributed file system to function. Some systems
  allow the disconnection of devices for short time
  periods in the event that data reconciliation has
  been implemented prior to synchronization.
• Version Control- This type of synchronization
  provides solutions for synchronizing such files
  that can be changed by multiple users
  simultaneously.
• Mirror Computing- It is used for providing a data
  sets exact copy to different sources. It is
  especially useful for backups. Moreover, it
  delivers an exact copy to not more than one
  location (source to target).

Important Features of File Synchronization Tools

• The most important features that must be present
  in a file synchronization tool are as follows-
• Availability of flexible filtering system
• Data is synchronized only when there is a need
  for it
• Enables encryption
• Compresses data that is sent across a network
• Ensures conflict detection when a files
  modification happens on both sources
• Provides open files support
• Assesses compatibility of platforms
• Provides synchronizations full simulation

11
Data Synchronizations Challenges

• There are certain challenges that are associated
  with data synchronization. These challenges have
  to do with the following-
• Management and integration of data organization
  in real-time
• Security and confidentiality
• Quality of data
• Complexity of data
• Ensuring peak performance
