Oracle Database High Availability
Databases and the Internet have enabled worldwide
collaboration and information sharing by extending the reach of
database applications throughout organizations and communities. Both
small businesses and global enterprises have users all over the world
who require access to data 24 hours a day. Without this data access,
revenue and customers can be lost, penalties can be owed, and bad press
can have a lasting effect on customers and a company's reputation.
Building a high availability IT infrastructure is critical to the
success and well being of all enterprises in today's fast moving
economy.
One of the challenges in designing an HA solution
is examining and addressing all the possible causes of downtime. It is
important to consider causes of both unplanned and planned downtime
when designing a fault tolerant and resilient IT infrastructure.
Unplanned downtime is primarily the result of computer failures or data
failures. Planned downtime is primarily due to data changes or system
changes that must be applied to the production system.

of what the critical high availability solution areas are, why they are
important considerations for building a highly available solution, and
what are Oracle's offerings in each of these areas.
