Solving typical database problems with Database FlashSnap
Database FlashSnap is designed to enable you to use database snapshots to overcome the following types of problems encountered in enterprise database environments:
-
In many companies, there is a clear separation between the roles of system administrators and database administrators. Creating database snapshots typically requires superuser (root) privileges, privileges that database administrators do not usually have.
-
In some companies, database administrators are granted root privileges, but managing storage is typically not central to their job function or their core competency.
-
Creating database snapshots is a complex process, especially in large configurations where thousands of volumes are used for the database. One mistake can render the snapshots useless.
Because it does not require root privileges, Database FlashSnap overcomes these obstacles by enabling database administrators to create consistent snapshots of the database more easily. The snapshots can be utilized for repetitive use.
