Less Disruptive Upgrades
Solution Description
Challenge
Oracle Database 12c, the latest generation Oracle database, includes many new enhancements, including Oracle Multi-tenant, Automatic Data Optimization, and additional high availability features, in a new multi-tenant architecture that simplifies the process of consolidating databases onto the cloud. As Oracle Database 11g R2 will enter “Extended Support” on February 1, 2015, a number of customers are looking at their upgrade options. With the transition from Oracle RAC 11g to Oracle RAC 12c now underway, customers need a solution that enables a major Oracle version upgrade with minimum downtime.
Technology Solution
To reduce your risk, assist and enable your adoption of this new Oracle 12c technology, EMC is working collaboratively with Oracle as an Oracle Platinum partner and has created enabling integration points with Oracle 12c to assist with the daily monitoring, provisioning, and protection challenges faced by your Oracle database administrators.
For rapid patching and upgrades, EMC’s replication technologies of RecoverPoint, TimeFinder and SnapView accelerate rapid patching and upgrades. These replication technologies are non-disruptive to the production database infrastructure because the provisioning of the database files for Oracle 12c patching or upgrade process is being executed on the VMAX/VNX storage system. Because the copy is offloaded to the storage system (VMAX or VNX), the replication process does not consume any database server resources, such as CPU or memory.
EMC’s Lifecycle Management solutions provide a simple, reliable, efficient, and high performance remote replication solution for Oracle environments. The benefits include:
- Rigorous recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO)
- Prevent data loss in the event of a site-wide disaster
- Bookmarks provide a simple, efficient, and reliable mechanism for patching, testing, and propagating the patches to the production site
