Oracle Database Backup and Storage Cloud Services

Extending its portfolio of enterprise-grade cloud solutions, Oracle Corp. announced the availability of two new cloud services, Oracle Database Backup and Oracle Storage Cloud.

Part of the Oracle Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) portfolio, Oracle Database Backup Service provides a simple, scalable, and low-cost database cloud backup solution, and can be an integral part of multi-tier database backup and recovery strategies. Integrated with Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN), it enables customers to continue using the RMAN commands for securely performing backup and recovery operations between on-premises Oracle Databases and the Oracle Cloud.

Oracle Database Backup Service enables customers to parallelize and compress backup data transfers to help maximize performance and includes client-side encryption to provide end-to-end data security.

Part of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) portfolio, Oracle Storage Cloud provides a secure, scalable, and reliable object storage solution that enables organizations to store, access, and manage data in the cloud.

It provides a comprehensive solution to simplify and lower capital and operational costs for storing backups and archives with high reliability and security. Oracle Storage Cloud is API compatible with OpenStack Swift and provides access to data through REST and Java APIs.

Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) members have long been part of Oracle’s success delivering leading database and storage solutions to customers. Supported by Oracle’s array of OPN cloud programs, partners may now participate in their customer’s adoption of cloud services. From referral to the delivery of value-added services, Oracle enables partners to profit from these new cloud services. They expand Oracle cloud’s portfolio of platform and infrastructure services, all available on a subscription basis.

“To remain competitive in today’s highly connected business environment, organizations are increasingly adopting and building new cloud-based solutions. There is also a huge push to migrate existing on-premises workloads to the public cloud and support portability between on-premises and cloud environments,” said Chris Pinkham, SVP, product development, Oracle. “To help customers achieve these goals, Oracle has further expanded its comprehensive set of enterprise-grade infrastructure cloud services. The new services are based on open standards, integrated to work together seamlessly, and designed to support full portability between on-premises and cloud environments.”
