Utilization of Database Replication for Performance Improvement and Backup of Higher Education Academic Information System Database

Currently, a higher education institution has an Academic Information System to support the implementation of educational processes. Over time, as the information system is used, the amount of stored data also increases. This leads to slower database services, which subsequently affects the performance of the information system. In terms of security, a database must also be prepared to face potential attacks or disruptions that could be damaging. Therefore, the database used in an information system must support steps to minimize the impact of such attacks or disruptions, for example, through backup measures. However, implementing backup procedures in a database can impact the overall performance of the information system, such as causing downtime during the backup process. This research creates a database server architecture that can enhance database performance (availability, speed, and security), thereby improving the performance of the academic information system while also supporting the backup process without compromising the performance of the system information using database replication technology.
