Oracle Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance

During his opening keynote at Oracle OpenWorld, Oracle Corp.’s executive chairman and CTO Larry Ellison announced the availability of Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance, an engineered system designed for Oracle database protection.

This massively scalable appliance delivers data protection, efficiency, and scalability.

 Facts

• The Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance (Recovery Appliance) is a system to deliver zero data loss protection for critical Oracle databases. When using today’s solutions to restore a database, businesses typically lose all data generated since the last backup–often hours to days of critical data.

• The Recovery Appliance reduces the impact of backups on production servers and networks, virtually eliminating the need for lengthy backup windows.

• The cloud-scale architecture enables a single Recovery Appliance to manage the data protection requirements of thousands of databases, avoiding the cost and complexity of disparate backup systems.

 
Reinventing Database Protection Existing data protection solutions fail to meet the demands of critical databases because they treat databases as simply files to copy rather than as transactional systems with specific data integrity, performance, and availability requirements. With today’s solutions, business data is lost, end users are impacted, and deployment and management are complex and fragmented. Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance integrates data protection technologies with Oracle database to address these challenges head-on.

Unparalleled Data Protection

An approach to Oracle database protection that eliminates data loss and enables recovery to any point in time.

No More Backup Overhead

Continuous incremental backup automatically captures real-time database changes–without impacting production performance.

Cloud-Scale Protection

Enables database protection as a service that scales up and out to protect thousands of databases.

End-to-End Visibility and Control

Provides complete data protection management for all databases-from data creation to tape archival-from a single interface.

The Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance:

• Eliminates data loss: Database integration enables continuous transport of redo data to the appliance, providing real-time protection for the most recent transactions so that databases can be restored without data loss.

• Eliminates production impact: Backup algorithms integrated into Oracle database send only changed data to the appliance, minimizing production database impact, I/O traffic, and network load. All expensive backup processing is offloaded to the appliance.

• Offloads tape archival: The Recovery Appliance can directly archive database backups to tape storage, offloading production database servers. Archival operations can run both day and night to improve tape drive utilization.

• Enables restore to any point in time: The database change data stored on the appliance can be used to create virtual full database copies at any desired point in time.

• Delivers cloud-scale protection: A single Recovery Appliance can serve the data protection requirements of thousands of databases in a data center or region. Capacity expands seamlessly to petabytes of storage, with no downtime.

• Protects data from disasters: The Recovery Appliance can replicate data in real time to a remote Recovery Appliance or to Oracle Database Backup Cloud Service to protect business data from site outages. Database blocks are continuously validated to eliminate data corruption at any stage of transmission or processing.
