About SF Oracle RAC
SF Oracle RAC is a storage management and clustering solution that enables you to:
-
Create a standard approach toward application and database management in data centers. While other clusterware can only work with an Oracle database, SF Oracle RAC incorporates existing Veritas storage management and clustering technologies that provide flexible support for many types of applications and databases. Administrators can apply existing expertise of Veritas technologies toward this product.
-
Set up an infrastructure for Oracle RAC that simplifies database management while fully integrating with Oracle Cluster Ready Services (CRS).
-
Enhance scalability and availability with access to multiple RAC instances per database in a cluster.
-
Transition from a local high availability site to a wide-area disaster recovery environment with primary and secondary sites.
-
Back up and recover databases using volume-level and file system-level snapshot technologies. SF Oracle RAC enables full volume-level snapshots for off-host processing that reduce load on production systems, and file system-level snapshots that involve efficient backup and rollback processes.
-
Prevent data corruption at the storage layer with robust split-brain protection.
-
Increase scalability with high throughput and low latency technology for use by Oracle Cache Fusion.
-
Share all types of files, in addition to Oracle database files, across nodes.
-
Increase availability and performance with dynamic multipathing (DMP), which provides wide storage array support for protection from failures and performance bottlenecks in the HBAs and SAN switches.
-
Model and test cluster configurations without affecting production systems using the simulator and firedrill clustering technologies.
-
Optimize I/O performance through storage mapping technologies and tunable attributes.
