Oracle Backup Solutions Program (BSP)
What is the Backup Solutions
Program?
Many organizations rely on Oracle to provide solutions
for very large or highly distributed mission critical systems. In addition
to needing databases capable of handling large amounts of data and complex
queries, these organizations also need robust backup and recovery technology.
Recovery of data quickly and reliably is paramount should some aspect
of the system fail. To address these needs, Oracle has created the Backup
Solutions Program (BSP), a cooperative program designed to facilitate
tighter integration between Oracle's backup products and those of third-party
media management vendors. Together, Oracle and media management vendors
provide robust easy-to-use database backup and recovery solutions to customers
with high-end requirements.
Backup Solutions Through Partnership
Oracle designed an architecture that allows Oracle
backup products to manage the process of database backup and recovery,
yet integrate with industry-leading tape storage management subsystems.
The interface between Oracle's products and media management vendor products
is keyed on an Oracle design specification. This specification allows
Oracle backup products to use third party media management software to
back-up to and restore from tape.
In this way, the robustness and expertise of both
Oracle and the media management vendor is leveraged: Oracle drives
the database backups, and the media management software provides the mechanism
for managing the storage and retrieval of tape backups.
How to Become a Member
Becoming a member of BSP is the method with which
third-party media management vendors receive the information, tools, and
resources they require to develop the integration media management technology
solutions for Oracle customers.
When using Oracle backup products, customers are
able to choose from leading tape storage management systems provided by
Backup Solutions Program member companies.
