Backup boost for Oracle systems
Backup boost for Oracle systems
Sep 14, 2005: Network Appliance has introduced SnapManager for Oracle to provide more simplified online backup and recovery services for Oracle databases on NetApp storage.
This system takes advantage of NetApp Snapshot technology and is closely integrated with disk-based backup and a granular recovery solution for Oracle customers that uses Oracle Automatic Storage Management technology.
One of the key advantages of the NetApp SnapManager is its ability to turn a multi-step backup and restore process into two simple commands from a single host machine.
Hanan Hit, the senior database architect at Mercury, said that NetApp SnapManager for Oracle has the potential to eliminate 90 percent of the complexity associated with managing backup and recovery for an Oracle on Linux environment.
"In addition to streamlining management, features like real-time backup validation protect against physical and logical corruptions so there are no costly surprises during recovery procedures both locally and at remote data centres.
"What's more impressive is that SnapManager for Oracle does for block-based environments what the network file system protocol does for file-based systems - management of even an Oracle on storage area network environment becomes automated and simple."
NetApp claims that in the event of data corruption, SnapManager allows database administrators to rapidly restore their Oracle data within one minute with no impact to database performance, compared to the average of one hour that is required to restore data from conventional tape backup solutions.
