Business Challenge
Oracle database systems are typically the most mission-critical in your environment, and the most difficult to protect and manage. As an Oracle Database Administrator (DBA), you need data management that works with you rather than against you. As a Backup Administrator, you need data management tools that integrate with Oracle to simplify backup and recovery while ensuring data coherency, so that you can work alongside your DBAs and alleviate their burden.
CommVault® Solution
CommVault® software simplifies data management for Oracle databases with advanced capabilities integrated to work seamlessly with Oracle systems and administrative processes. CommVault does this by providing Simpana® data management software with Oracle RMAN integration and advanced capabilities designed to minimize and eliminate Oracle recovery failures, while significantly speeding Oracle backup and restore performance.
CommVault Simpana software includes comprehensive Oracle log management, enabling more frequent points-in-time of backup and recovery throughout the day. Active monitoring of Oracle blocks ensure data coherency for backup and enable reliable recovery. Seamless use of existing RMAN scripts preserves existing procedures, and simplifies their operation. Guided recovery finds and guides repair of Oracle database systems, making it simple and fast to recover Oracle systems.
