Protection, Recovery, and Resilience

Why choose Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance?

Purpose-built for Oracle AI Database, Recovery Appliance delivers unique capabilities to simplify data protection, strengthen your recovery posture, and improve overall efficiency to lower costs. Recovery Appliance enables you to protect database transactions as they occur to reduce data loss exposure and recover from backup predictably and quickly, minimizing downtime and impact in the event of a ransomware attack.

Recovery Appliance builds on Oracle Data Guard’s redo transport and Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) technologies to provide continuous data protection and recovery validation. The same software that created the backup is used to validate its integrity—without overhead on database servers.

Enterprise performance, scalability, and efficiency

Reduces recovery point objective (RPO) to

<1 sec

with real-time data protection 

Delivers sustainable backup and restore throughput up to

60 TB/hr

per rack

Scales virtual full backup capacity1 from 2 PB up to

Up to 15PB

in fully scaled-out configuration

Creates space-efficient backups of encrypted databases for up to a

3x

reduction in storage consumption2

1. Virtual full backup capacity is the effective storage amount needed assuming a 10% change rate.2. Backups of Oracle databases encrypted via Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) are compressed.

Recovery Appliance capabilities at a glance

Database-aware anomaly detection

Continuous, in-depth backup integrity checks verify block correctness, RMAN restorability, and availability of all files needed for point-in-time recovery.

Continuous database transaction protection

Database transactions are protected as they occur, enabling you to recover up to the point of the last committed transaction.

Real-time recoverability metrics by database

Data loss exposure and point-in-time recovery window metrics are available by database so you can understand your current database recovery posture.

Incoming backup anomaly screening

Backup integrity validation during ingest identifies anomalies before storing files on disk and potentially exposing other backups to malware.

Automatic alerts on recovery risk exposure

Proactive monitoring notifies you if data loss exposure for a database exceeds user-defined thresholds so you can address potential issues before a real problem exists.

Minimized open window for cyber vaults

Only changed blocks are sent to air-gapped cyber vaults, resulting in smaller, faster backups and a shorter timeframe when the vault network needs to be open.

Freed up database server resources

Recovery Appliance offloads resource-intensive backup processes such as incremental merge or apply, RMAN recovery validation, and periodic full backups.&nbsp;

Incremental forever backup strategy

With an initial full backup, then incremental forever backups, you can reduce backup windows, database server overhead, and network traffic.

Fast restore of virtual full backups

Recovery Appliance assembles full backups as needed for restore from space-optimized virtual backups, without overhead on database servers.

GCB Bank modernizes core banking systems with Oracle Exadata and Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance

“We just weren’t sure that we could avoid having to pay a ransom if hackers got in; Recovery Appliance gives us the confidence we were looking for. Our data is protected in real time, backups are continuously validated, and we can quickly restore to any point in time with zero data loss. This gives us the resiliency to say no to hackers—I’m pretty happy with that device.”

Announcing New Cost-Optimized Oracle Engineered Systems Offerings: Exadata X11M XT Storage and Recovery Appliance RA23-Z

Alex Blyth, Senior Principal Product Manager, Oracle Tim Chien, Senior Director of Product Management, Oracle

We are excited to announce the immediate availability of two new cost-optimized offerings: the Exadata X11M eXTended (XT) Storage Server, and the Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance RA23-Z. While each serves a different purpose, both give customers more flexibility for running and protecting databases cost-effectively with exclusive Oracle capabilities. Customers now have more options for deploying Oracle AI Database on Exadata and protecting those databases with the Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance.
