Dbvisit - Oracle Disaster Recovery Solution within your reach

How much does 30 minutes of down time cost your business?

Maintenance overheads aside, think about the opportunity costs in lost productivity. Now imagine a 16 hour downtime. Will your company's operations be hurt because of inaccessibility to critical data? In the US, 43% companies never reopen after a major disaster*, and only 7% survive for an additional 5 years**.

While we cannot control external forces - natural, human or technical; we can control the impact they have on our businesses. No company is immune to such catastrophes. Companies are protecting their data against disruptions more seriously today with contingency plans and standby servers, because of our excessive dependencies on machines.

We’ve been using Dbvisit for almost three years. Yes – it functions exactly as advertised. And it saved us: Our internal Oracle database server failed and we had to failover to the standby server. The failover was entirely successful...they’ve been excellent: responsive and helpful. As you can tell, we’re very happy with the product. It provides strong functionality at a value price. Highly recommended. -Michael J. Muha, Ph.D. | Manager, Systems & Hosting | WorkForce Software - Winner of the Inc. 5000, Entrepreneur’s Hot 500, Software Magazine’s Software 500, and Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500

Time or data loss has huge costs in terms of overheads and lost opportunities. Loosing integral data to disasters not only impacts the security and finances of your business, it jeopardizes its existence completely.

So the question is, how prepared are you to face such unforeseen situations? Do you have the peace of mind that no matter what happens, your company's data will be protected and your business will continue without stalling even for a moment?

Your business success, bottom line, and growth depend on how prepared and secure your systems and processes are at all times.

Mitigating your risks from disasters isn't a technical issue, it is a business decision. It's important to have a reliable solution for responding to such interruptions, and restoring your critical business functions smoothly. Modern day businesses demand minimalistic tolerance for down-time and greater expectations of data availability. Typically, business owners turn to two different types of solutions for adding this level of security to their databases. Either they turn to 'home-bred in-house solutions' or 'high cost investments'. In-house data protection solutions may seem cost effective in the short run but are unstable and often create hindrances in business, since they demand considerable attention from the DBAs. Many of these solutions fail to be practical and offer minimum stability and reliability.

Other solutions like Oracle's Data Guard are priced at premium values of $30,000, making it difficult for small to mid-sized companies to afford. Most companies cannot bear the heavy expenses of Oracle Enterprise Edition solution licensing and maintenance fees, and hence compromise on their data security.

Dbvisit was made to fill this gap, and is now considered to be one of the most popular disaster recovery solutions for Oracle databases. It provides the level of security every business deserves, at much more economical costs. This makes it an affordable alternative for all businesses without compromising on quality, efficiency and reliability. Dbvisit ensures business continuity by making a copy of your databases at a remote location and keeping it constantly updated. In case disaster strikes, standby databases can automatically switch to primary database status, making the transition almost seamless.

You don't have to compromise on features or functionality to save costs. Dbvisit becomes a viable business decision as companies are now required to comply with stringent industrial rules and regulations for security and data accountability.

Finding a high functionality solution at a value price.

Since Dbvisit was made to fill an evident gap in data recovery solutions, it aims to support the unique protection needs of every company - making it a prudent business choice. Dbvisit offers the following benefits that can ensure your business continuity.

• Convenient to install - Installing Dbvisit for the first time is simple and intuitive and requires no additional training costs. It takes only about 30 minutes to set it up.
• Supports multiple platforms - It provides freedom, flexibility and openness to migrate from one platform to another without limitations - it works with Microsoft Windows, UNIX and Linux. No matter what systems or platforms you use, you can have the peace of mind that your data will always be protected.
• Compatibility with other Oracle versions - Dbvisit supports oracle versions 8i to 11g. Even if you switch or upgrade your Oracle servers to newer versions, your data will still be protected without requiring any manual input from you.
• Flexibility to use Oracle’s latest features - As your Oracle database feature set changes, your recovery systems also automatically update. Dbvisit is always in sync with Oracle's functionality making it simpler to upgrade your systems.
• Reduce down time duration - You don't have to deal with down time during maintenance outages anymore. Dbvisit allows you to easily switch between your primary and standby databases instantaneously, using its role reversal capabilities (Automatic Graceful switchover).
• Access to local databases - Dbvisit allows local users to access the same applications through local databases (for better performance and local support) in different parts of the world. In each time zone a new primary database becomes the active database, thus making it easier to manage teams across the globe.
• Safety and Security - We ensure that your crucial data is protected at all times by applying reliable industry strength security standards. Safety and security is integral for any company's existence.
• Easy to revert changes - Dbvisit offers measures of additional protection in case of human or software errors. Changes in the database are replicated in the standby server but are applied only after 60 minutes - thus providing a comfortable buffer for situations where the changes need to be reversed.
• Automatically creates the standby database - Once the systems have been setup you won't ever have to manually create copies of your database on your standby servers. Dbvisit has automated this process completely, so that you can focus your time and resources elsewhere.
• Automatic continuation - Even if network or database problems occur, everything continues to work without requiring additional support from a DBA.
• Database management - Dbvisit automatically manages and monitors archive logs on both primary and standby servers. This ensures that your database does not get stuck, consequently resulting in continued uptime.
• Protection from errors - Access to comprehensive trace files for analysis by the support team limits time-loss significantly. In case of any software errors, you can rest assured knowing that your turnaround time to resolve issues will be minimalistic.
• Load balancing - Maximize return on standby hardware investment as reports can be run against standby databases instead of impacting the primary database.
• Quick and easy activation - When the time comes, Dbvisit activates the disaster recovery database in the quickest amount of time, making sure that your business keeps running with ease.

These benefits result in zero downtime with instant data recovery, and no training overheads. Dbvisit solution is a robust, efficient and secure solution for any business looking for protection. You don't have to compromise on your data protection measures anymore.

What makes Dbvisit different from the rest?

• Dbvisit runs outside the database therefore causing minimal interruption of the database. It runs as an executable allowing it to capture precise snapshot images of the database for rollback purposes.
• Dbvisit eliminates the need of external monitoring as it does not run on agent or daemons (unlike Data Guard), it thus remains active without supervision.
• Greater bandwidth is not required because it automatically compresses archive logs before replicating to the Oracle standby database.
• Dbvisit does not use complex SQL*Net configurations, reducing the number of open firewall ports; thus making the data more secure and less vulnerable.

Dbvisit is definitely a tool which helps hard pressed technical staff by TRULY simplifying and automating the complex management of standby databases. My company was able to save quite a bit on Oracle licensing by being able to deploy the Standard Edition of Oracle 10g and still get the same DR functionality (thru Dbvisit) as with the more expensive options of Oracle Enterprise Edition and Data Guard. I found it relatively easy to setup and use, and very important to me was the speed and quality of the support from the Dbvisit team during my testing phase. Those guys are very much on the ball. Of the Dbvisit features, an unexpected bonus feature for me was the fact that the transmission of the archive logs is in an encrypted tunnel out of the box and the logs are also compressed, so it is not only secure but works well even where you have a slow connection to your DR site like what I have currently. -Wayne Straughn | Database Administrator | The Barbados Light & Power Co Ltd | Barbados
