Dbvisit - The ultimate Oracle standby database solution
Features and Benefits
Peace of mind
You can relax with confidence because with Dbvisit managed Oracle standby databases, you know you are prepared for when disaster strikes.
Dbvisit enables you to switchover in minutes to the standby database to allow normal business continuity. No more need for data recovery or complex data restores. Have complete disaster preparedness.
Reduce Risks
Currently running homegrown standby scripts or automated log shipping?
What happens when the DBA who wrote those homegrown scripts leaves? Are they future-proofed? What happens when you upgrade Oracle?
Would they work with Oracle RAC?
Are you comfortable that everything will continue to work?
Why take the risk. With Dbvisit you can be confident you have chosen the best
proven Oracle standby database technology available. And it is fully supported.
See the Dbvisit versus automated Oracle log shipping document for a comparison
between Dbvisit and homegrown scripts.
Maximises return on investment
Standby site hardware can be used to offset processing loads from primary services to the standby site.
For example, your standby database can be used to run large reports which would otherwise impact your primary database.
Increased DBA job satisfaction
Let Dbvisit manage your Oracle standby databases so that DBA's have more time for strategic planning and investigating how to best
make use of new Oracle features.
DBA's will no longer have to ensure that the standby database is up to date after small network interruptions or service outages.
Dbvisit will continue replicating where it left off with no transaction loss in an automated fashion without any intervention of the DBA.
Reliable and Safe
Dbvisit is reliable and safe. Dbvisit
is a completely hands-off operation
and automatically recovers from
temporary network outages or
glitches. No manual intervention
required. Every step is monitored
and checked for errors. Checksum
calculation is used to ensure that
the updates have been transferred
correctly. Dbvisit can resend Oracle log files if required.
Cost-effective
Dbvisit is a very cost-effective Oracle standby database solution compared with upgrading to Oracle Enterprise Edition (EE) to enable utilisation of Oracle Data Guard.
The price difference between Oracle Standard Edition One (SE1) and Oracle Enterprise Edition (EE) is US$25,000* per processor. Dbvisit costs only US$1,950 per database
(for a 2 processor server), and this includes the license for unlimited Standby Databases.
Multi version Oracle environment
Reduce risks when upgrading Oracle as Dbvisit will work with all versions of Oracle.
All features
of Dbvisit will work against all
versions of Oracle and all 32bit and
64bit environments (unlike Data Guard). There is no need to upgrade
Dbvisit when upgrading Oracle or
when upgrading from Oracle 32bit
to 64bit.
With Dbvisit you have a complete Oracle enterprise class disaster recovery product to allow business continuity with the following features:
- Automatic graceful switchover (also called role reversal) which may be used for planned outages. The primary database transitions to a standby database and the standby database transitions to a primary database with no data loss. Graceful switchover works for Oracle 8i, 9i, 10g and 11g.
- Oracle RAC support. Dbvisit support Oracle Real Application Cluster.
- Automatic space management. Dbvisit will automatically add new datafiles and tablespaces to the standby database which have been added to the primary database.
- Multiple Standby Databases from the same primary database. For example one standby database can be used for DR and another standby can be used for running large reports without impacting the primary database.
