 Go live scenarios
• Go live scenarios
• There are a number of scenarios that can be used to put the new
infrastructure in
• production as the replacement for an existing system – to “Go Live”:
• · Big Bang – In the big bang scenario, at a set time, the existing
system
• is switched off and the new system is immediately put in production,
• possibly after a short data migration run. This is the riskiest scenario
• because it may be impossible to roll back to the old system after the
• system is live for some time, and because downtime can occur when
• something goes wrong during the switchover
• Parallel changeover – In this scenario, both the new and the
existing
• system run simultaneously for some time (typically weeks). This allows
• for testing the new system on both functionality and non-functional
• attributes, and ensuring it works with live production data before
switching
• off the existing system. As both systems are running and processing
data,
• switching back is possible at any time, minimizing risk. A big
• disadvantage of this scenario is the cost of maintaining both systems
and
• the possible extra work to keep both systems in sync. Also, many system
• designs don’t allow running two systems in parallel, for instance, if the
• system has many data interfaces with other systems.
