Enable Oracle ® Recovery Manager (RMAN) to store backup data from your Oracle database to Cloud storage using CloudArray ™ software and services from TriCore ™ Solutions

Overview
The following presentation provides a functional overview on:
How Oracle RMAN together with CloudArray and TriCore services work seamlessly to protect your Oracle database
This solution provides an economic and highly reliable storage tier for offsite data backup and replication without the logistics and cost of tape transport
Compares Oracle cloud module to CloudArray software
The presentation also provides a 3-year TCO summary on CloudArray vs. existing backup and replication solutions
Details for a Free 30-day evaluation of CloudArray software

Example Environment
Physical hosts running Oracle
RMAN implemented as data protection solution
Initial backup targets: tape and offsite tape storage

Physical Host Data Center LAN Oracle Enterprise Manager RMAN Integration RMAN Integration RMAN Integration CloudArray ESX CloudArray Virtual Appliance CloudArray operates as a virtual appliance. It presents iSCSI block-based volumes as a writable/readable target for any application to include RMAN. File systems can be created on each volume or volumes can be mounted as raw storage.

Physical Host Data Center LAN Oracle Enterprise Manager RMAN Integration RMAN Integration RMAN Integration CloudArray ESX CloudArray Virtual Appliance Volumes are provisioned from local storage used as a cache. Cache size is user-configurable where volumes can be partially cached or 100% cached. The cache offers fast access to data and supports DAS, SAN, SSD, NAS.

Physical Host Data Center LAN Oracle Enterprise Manager RMAN Integration RMAN Integration RMAN Integration CloudArray ESX CloudArray Virtual Appliance Cloud Storage Providers Data written to CloudArray volumes from RMAN are asynchronously replicated to one or more Cloud storage providers of your choice. Either a partial or full copy of the volume is stored locally in cache. Encryption, Compression, Asynchronous Replication
