Data Guard OTN Case
Study
Case Study: How
Dell I.T. Implements "Snapshot Standby" Functionality - Using Oracle
Data Guard 10g
Release 2 (pdf)
Dell uses Oracle Data Guard 10g
Release 2 and related Oracle Database capabilities to utilize their
physical standby databases for testing and other purposes that require
read-write access to the standby database. This has increased the
return on investment in Disaster Recovery systems. As important, the
increased accuracy of test results has dramatically decreased business
risk when changes must be made to their production environment. Dell
has implemented via a manual process the near equivalent of the new
Data Guard Snapshot Standby feature delivered in Oracle Database 11g. Oracle Database 10g users can follow the steps
provided in this case study to realize the benefit of a snapshot
standby database without having to wait for Oracle Database 11g to be production in their shops.
