When you find that…

• You need faultless, low cost Oracle disaster recovery (DR)…

…don’t spend money on Enterprise Edition (EE) for Data Guard – use SE + Standby

• Your own the Oracle database (ODB) and have no DR…

…you can get DR functioning inexpensively and fast using Standby

• You’re moving to the Cloud and you need DR…

…Standby runs fine in the Cloud, helping enterprises drastically reduce IT spend…

• You have EE for Data Guard only…

…get off of EE and onto SE with Standby for DR, saving 1,000s of $$$

• You do not have costly Oracle DBA talent on staff…

…you can readily manage Oracle DR with Standby, no DBA required

Dbvisit Replicate

Real time Oracle data replication

• From Oracle to Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL

• Requires an Oracle DBA

• Topologies: one to one, one to many, many to one, cascading, unidirectional, bi-directional

• Wizard-driven interface

• Robust notification capabilities

• Automated conflict detection and correction

• “Audit” feature

Flexibly configured, and easily reconfigured to meet new,

changing demands for distributed real time Oracle data


Dbvisit Replicate architecture

① Mine

Mines Oracle redo logs and creates PLOG data to move over network

② PLOG

- Parsed logs – binary files specific to Dbvisit Reporting

- Platform independent

③ Apply

Converts PLOG data into target DB native SQL

…use Replicate rental license to get it done inexpensively

• You need stellar customer support and free installation services…

…we support our Replicate customers in a way unmatched by anyone else in the industry

• Production Oracle servers are overloaded, response times slow…

…use Replicate to offload reporting instead of costly hardware solutions

• A data warehouse / BI app needs real time data…

…and GoldenGate pricing makes this undoable – use Replicate instead

• You have to replace Oracle Streams…

…use Replicate, an affordable alternative to GoldenGate
