Architecture

Data protection is arguably one of the most critical and daunting tasks facing IT organizations. Managing data protection of heterogeneous servers spread across data centers and remote offices, based on private, hybrid or public cloud requires a unified solution addressing the complexities of distributed environments consisting of both database and file system data. With a highly scalable client-server architecture, Oracle Secure Backup (OSB) delivers centralized disk, tape and cloud backup management for the entire IT environment:

Oracle database integration with Recovery Manager (RMAN) supporting versions Oracle Database 11g Release 2 to Oracle Database 19c

Optimized performance achieving 25-40% faster Oracle Database backups than comparable media management products with up to 10% less CPU utilization

Enhanced data throughput over Infiniband networks for maximum backup and restore performance in Exadata and Oracle Database Appliance environments

File system data protection: UNIX / Windows / Linux servers and Network Attached Storage (NAS)

Cloud Storage and Archive support on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to protect your cloud environment or to store your backups off-site.

Automated, policy-based staging for easy Disk-to-Disk-to-Tape and Disk-to-Disk-to-Cloud backups.

Functionality

While comparable products separately license advanced features, number and size of servers and database integration, Oracle Secure Backup does not! Oracle Secure Backup delivers comprehensive data protection management with enterprise-class features and Oracle database integration in one single solution with a simple licensing scheme based only on the number of utilized streams.
