JurisTech builds and hosts a range of critical software applications for banks, credit unions and legal organizations. The critical nature of the data managed through JurisTech’s applications requires a Gold Standard Disaster Recovery (DR) solution capable of meeting the varying Recovery Point Objective (RPO) / Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) requirements of their clients.
DR is a critical part of JurisTech's solution stack, and they have fully integrated it into their products, providing 24/7 DBA support to their clients for JurisTech’s applications. When looking for a DR vendor, they sought a solution that would allow their clients to utilise Oracle SE licencing and avoid the approximately 600% cost increases required to move up to Oracle Enterprise Edition.
As an ISV, JurisTech also required a DR solution that would scale across its client base, supporting multiple databases in large and complex environments. Integration into the Service Desk with complete monitoring and reporting was also critical. JurisTech needed a product to provide real-time reporting and granular visibility across its entire install base to enable preventative maintenance and fault notification.
"We support multiple databases, including Oracle, and needed a secure, safe, and reliable solution that lowered the total cost of ownership for our customers using Oracle SE and SE2. We usually support our client's database, managing the installation, configuration, and support. We always propose Dbvisit StandbyMP as the DR application for all Oracle deployments. I come from a Data Guard background and have supported Dbvisit for around seven years. I find Standby even easier to install and use than Data Guard. Standby has critical features like Gap Reporting and Graceful Switchover, which integrate perfectly with our Service Desk operations." - Abdul Rahman, Lead DBA, JurisTech.
