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.

An effective High Availability (HA) solution must address both unplanned and planned causes of downtime to achieve a truly fault tolerant and resilient IT infrastructure. Unplanned downtime is primarily the result of computer failures, data failures and human error. Planned downtime is primarily due to data changes or system changes that must be applied to the production system

Equally important, an HA solution must be practical to implement - minimizing acquisition cost and operational complexity while being able to efficiently scale-out to meet any performance requirement as business needs evolve.

Oracle Database 11g Release 2 provides integrated, Oracle-aware capabilities to address both planned and unplanned downtime using the Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA). MAA is resilient to all types of unplanned outages, includes comprehensive capabilities that eliminate or minimize planned downtime, and can be deployed on a lower-cost, highly resilient systems architecture that can scale-out to handle any performance requirement.
