New: Active Data Guard Improves Quality of Service for Oracle Database 11g Users

With Oracle Database 11g comes a new option for improving quality of service (QoS) on your business-critical applications.

Oracle Active Data Guard enables companies to use a synchronized replica of their production database for much more than protection from data center failure or disaster. Standby databases can now be used for simultaneous recovery and read operations to offload backup, reporting, and other long-running operations that can have unpredictable impact on performance of production databases.

“People are very concerned about transaction performance on their production instance,” says Joe Meeks, director of product management, Oracle. “Oracle Active Data Guard allows them to achieve predictable performance for their critical business transactions, because a real-time replica of their production instance is doing a lot of ancillary work.”

Oracle Active Data Guard customers can also benefit from all the high-availability and disaster recovery features of Oracle Data Guard while gaining a simple, high-performance solution that offloads resource-intensive queries, reporting, and backup operations from the production database.

“This is a solution that people have been wanting for a long time,” says Meeks. “We’re proud that we’ve been able to provide it in a way that actually reduces complexity and cost.”
