Oracle DB - from Standalone to Real Application Cluster (RAC)
Oracle Database (and also Oracle Database Server, Oracle RDBMS and others) is database management system software.
An Oracle database system can save relational as well as object-relational files. Furthermore, it can process and relationally transform XML-file structures (XMLDB. XDK). It implements ACID-properties, offers good scalability and a very large range of functions.
Because of its architecture and scalability, the software (DBMS, RDBMS, ORDBMS) can be used by a large number of users at the same time and is available for virtually all operating systems that are being used today.
Other important basic properties include: inter-platform support of distributed databases and intelligent backups (optionally with block change tracking).
SEP sesam supports Oracle DBMS on numerous hardware platforms and all common operating systems. The backup module can be used in all types of configurations, ranging from single systems to real application clusters in heterogeneous and distributed OS-environments. Communication takes place via Orcale RMAN (Recovery Manager).
Administration of the database and DBMS is unaffected by the connection with SEP sesam. In addition to planning from the DB side and controlling backup runs, planning of backups can be integrated into the larger backup concept when interacting with the SOB interface.
The prioritization of database tasks ensures smooth and immediate availability of memory.
Benefits of SEP sesam Oracle Module
- Central control and surveillance of the (local) Backup device at the DBMS
- Cost reduction through reduction of storage devices on the DBMS server for central data storage
- Functional from single to cluster environments
- Mixed operating system possible with OCW and RAC
- Full RMAN support
- No administration limitations on Oracle DBMS
- Point in Time Recovery Support
