Oracle Enterprise Edition license not required
Dbvisit is for Oracle database users who require business continuity (BC) and high availability (HA) in case of a disaster, outage or failure,
but do not want to upgrade to Oracle Enterprise Edition.
Our product is now considered one of the most popular disaster recovery and replication solutions worldwide for Oracle databases.
Dbvisit saved us: Our internal Oracle database server failed and we had to failover to the standby server. The failover was entirely successful.

Are you prepared for a data disaster?
93% of companies that suffer significant data loss are out of business within 5 years (US Bureau of Labour).
Oracle Disaster Recovery (DR) is vital, without it your business could shut down. More and more companies are required to comply with
industry regulations in terms of security and data accountability.
What is Dbvisit?
Dbvisit is an automated standby database disaster recovery and high-availability software solution and
is a real alternative for Oracle Data Guard without the cost and complexity.
See a comparison between Dbvisit and Data Guard.
Dbvisit works with Oracle RAC, Oracle Enterprise Edition (EE), Oracle Standard Edition (SE), Standard One, XE and other Oracle features such as ASM, OMF and Flash Recovery (FRA).
Unlike other solutions our product is flexible, cost-effective, easy to use and does not require upgrading to
Oracle Enterprise Edition to be protected in case of internal and external disasters or failures.
Dbvisit even creates the standby database to save time and reduce complexity.
How does it work?
Dbvisit automates the synchronisation of a hot standby database at a remote or local location.
A standby database is like having an online hot backup of your database instantly available 24x7.
There is no need to restore in the event of a disaster (which is very time consuming), as there is instant data recovery and database recovery.
It is possible to switch over to the standby database in a matter of minutes to allow business continuity in an emergency.
Dbvisit provides:
- Automatic creation of the standby database from normal, RAC or ASM databases (with restartability). Transporatable Media support for very large databases or slower networks.
- Automatic Graceful switchover to reduce downtime during maintenance outages or failback after disaster using its role reversal capabilities.
- Time-delayed standby database updating enabling data loss due to human error or software error to be recovered.
- Compression used to ensure distance independency and minimum bandwidth requirement between production and standby systems.
- Complete protection from all types of failures, including software and human errors, faulty batch jobs, sabotage as well as natural or man made disasters.
- Easy to use with no training required. Simple failover process.
- Works with all editions of Oracle (Standard Edition, Standard One, XE and Enterprise Edition) on Linux, Unix and Windows.
- Usability of the standby systems for additional purposes (e.g. reporting, backups, analysis) without any impact on the production systems during normal operations.
- Supports all Oracle features such as RAC, ASM, OMF and Flash recovery area.
- Secure encrypted transport mechanism on all platforms including Windows.
- Continuous and consistent hot backup of your databases.
- Supported for Oracle 8i, 9i, 10g and 11g.
