FAQs

Topics

What cloud platforms does Standby support?

Standby supports nearly any private or public cloud services that are support. Examples include: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2); Oracle Cloud; and Microsoft Azure Cloud (Azure).

Do I need DR if I have availability Zones?

Availability zones are for the infrastructure but not for the database. If there is a database failure with no hardware failure, the failure will not be detected or resolved by availability zones. In this situation, a standby database enables you to quickly and easily failover with minimal dataloss and affect to your business operations.

What configurations does Standby support?

Standby's flexibility allows it to run on-premise to on-premise, on-premise to cloud; and cloud-to-cloud. It's even possible to quickly adjust this configuration or cloud provider as your business evolves.
