SE-Guard: High Availability and Disaster Recovery for Oracle Standard Edition and SE1

High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) are requirements for business critical applications that cannot afford system downtime or must minimize downtime in a disaster situation.

While the costs associated with business downtime continue to rise, price premiums for high-availability solutions continue to decline. There are several High Availability options available in the Oracle environment, some hardware based and others database driven. But to use database redundancy options provided by Oracle (Data Guard or Streams) the Enterprise Edition of the Oracle database software is required.

Cintra has developed a standby database solution for Oracle’s Standard Edition and SE1 compliant to versions 8i, 9i,10g, and 11g. Key features built into our standby database integration solution include:

·    Automated log shipping.
·    Minimal data loss configuration.
·   Delayed log apply feature for protection against database      corruption.
·    Integrated monitoring with email alerts.
·    Supports manual failover and fail-back operations.
·    Certified to Oracle versions 8i through11g.
·   Supports both local high availability and remote disaster      recovery configurations.
·    Available on Windows, Linux, and Solaris OS.

Approach and Deliverables
Working alongside your Systems and Database Administrators, our Database Architects will provide a configuration blueprint, which includes configuration details and operational considerations. The scope of the package includes:

·    A detailed configuration document.
·    Installation of a Standby database integration solution for a       single primary production database.
·    Knowledge transfer to your personnel with an understanding       on how to administer and monitor the solution.
·    Operational documentation and procedures.
