Key Features
- Simplified management
- Off-host processing
- Scalable database performance with data integrity
- I/O bottleneck reduction
- Stretch RAC environments
- Reduced storage footprint and costs
Key Benefits
- Centralizes multinode management and makes RAC as easy to manage as a single-node non-RAC database.
- Creates easy-to-use database clones to enable data analysis and backups.
- Protects the database from logical errors by providing point-in-time copies.
- Eliminates the risk of data corruption in the event of a “split brain” condition.
- Utilizes database accelerators and multiple physical paths to disks.
- Maps database objects down the storage hierarchy to the disks to identify and reduce congestion.
- Achieves high availability and disaster recovery by utilizing a campus cluster configuration for Oracle RAC.
- Reduces primary storage footprint through the use of compression.
- Provides faster recovery and minimal downtime for applications composed of multiple components running on different physical and virtual tiers, adding resilience to the private cloud.
- Automatically moves less frequently used data to slower, less expensive disks.
