Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A first computing device located at a first data center, the first computing device communicatively coupled to a first database, the first computing device configured to:
determine data stored in the first database to be replicated to a second database, the second database communicatively coupled to a second computing device at a remote data center;
determine whether a point-to-point data tunnel has been established across a broadband cellular network between the first computing device and the second computing device;
establish the point-to-point data tunnel across the broadband cellular network between the first computing device and the second computing device when it is determined that the point-to-point data tunnel has not been established; and
replicate the data to the second database by transmitting the data to the second computing device across the point-to-point data tunnel:
wherein the point-to-point data tunnel has at least some bandwidth that is dedicated for a transfer of the replication data between the first data center and the second data center, and
wherein the determining the data to be replicated comprises:
comparing a first timestamp for a first data record in the first database with a second timestamp for a corresponding second data record in the second database, and
when the first timestamp is newer than the second timestamp, determining that the first data record is to be replicated to the second database.
