Database replication is the activity of continual electronic copying of data from one database in a computer or server to another database in a separate location. This recurrent copying enables all users to have the same level of information at all times without interfering in each other’s work.

What tool would you use if you want a fast, fully managed data warehouse that makes it easy and convenient as well as cost-effective to analyze all standard data using SQL and your existing Business Intelligence (BI)? It is Amazon Redshift which allows users to run complex analytic queries against petabytes of structured data, using cutting-edge query optimization, storage on high-performance local disks and massive parallel query execution.  Businesses can start on any scale with Redshift, from $0.25 per hour without any commitments and move on to petabytes of data for $1,000 per terabyte per year at a tenth of the expenses of traditional solutions. Amazon Redshift also includes Amazon Redshift Spectrum which helps to run SQL queries against exabytes of unstructured data in Amazon S3.  Conventional data warehouses need large amounts of time and resources to administer. Additionally, the financial cost of building, maintaining, and growing self-managed, on-premise data warehouses is
