Dataguard Disaster Recovery

Let’s see some useful information about Dataguard Disaster Recovery. Oracle Corp. announced new software in year 2001 designed to make it easier for companies to maintain a backup copy of their database, with the goal of preserving data in the event of a system failure, human error or natural disaster.

Called Dataguard Disaster Recovery, the application was originally scheduled for release with Oracle 9i, the next major upgrade to Oracle's database, scheduled for release by June 30. The company decided to offer a version for users of its current database, Oracle 8i, because it's "one of those fundamental technologies" that all businesses can benefit from, said George Demarest, director of product marketing for Oracle 9i.

Dataguard Disaster Recovery is used to help maintain a replica of a company's primary database, with the goal of keeping important data available and intact in the event of a disaster. Coming soon after a large earthquake shook Seattle and in the midst of a chronic power shortage which has led to blackouts in parts of California, the release of the software is timely.

However, the version of Dataguard Disaster Recovery being offered to 8i users isn't as complete as the one that will ship with Oracle 9i, Demarest acknowledged. The software released today can maintain a "physical standby" database, which contains the same data as a company's primary database but can be used only for read-only operations. Only the version of Dataguard Disaster Recovery that will ship with Oracle 9i supports the maintenance of a "logical standby" database, or one that supports both read and write access.For more info please visit: http://www.itworld.com/AppDev/132/ITW_3-8-01_oraclesw/
