  • Publication number: 20190132420
    Abstract: A machine may be configured to pin data associated with an entity to a data center for a period of time. For example, the machine receives a request to initiate an operation that uses data associated with an entity. The machine, based on the request to initiate the operation, pins the entity to a first data center of the plurality of data centers for a period of time. The pinning results in a suspension of a scheduled routing of data requests associated with the entity to a second data center of the plurality of data centers. The machine determines a status of the operation that uses the data associated with the entity. The machine, based on a determination that the operation is completed, updates data pertaining to the scheduled routing in a routing record that associates the entity with the second data center of the plurality of data centers.
