Every cloud needs Disaster Recovery

No cloud is immune to downtime, and most people are less protected than they think.  As part of your cloud migration, it is essential to deploy Disaster Recovery that meets your RTO/RPO needs.

StandbyMP software for the cloud guarantees database continuity with a continually verified standby database that is always available and ready to take over at a moment's notice.

Dispelling the common cloud myths

 

 

"I'm in the cloud so I don't need Disaster Recovery"
Cloud infrastructure providers typically don't include resilient Disaster Recovery. Instead, they recommend you implement out-of-region DR for business-critical databases. 

"Clouds are more reliable than on-premise"
Moving to a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) doesn’t magically fix availability problems. The cloud is also vulnerable to downtime, accessibility issues, and performance problems.

"I'm safe because I have in-region high availability"
It is not uncommon for entire regions to go down. Multi-region replication is recommended by CSPs but can be difficult to implement for databases without the help of specialist software.

"My data is protected because I have backups"
While backups are a necessary part of any Disaster Recovery plan, traditional backups no longer meet the data loss (RPO) and recovery speed (RTO) requirements of most businesses. Backups are also difficult to test and vulnerable to corruption.

What approach is recommended by Cloud Service Providers (CSPs)?

When looking at database availability in the cloud, CSPs such as Amazon and Oracle recommend out-of-region replication as the basis of best-practice Disaster Recovery. Organizations then match the type of replication to their RTO and RPO requirements. 

As evidenced by Amazon's six-hour regional failure in 2021, in-region high availability is not enough by itself. A resilient warm standby database is the cornerstone of best practice Disaster Recovery.

Like Oracle Data Guard, StandbyMP uses physical replication technology to create a standby database that is continuously updated, verified and available for failover at anytime.

  • Eliminate risk with a resilient and remote standby database that can meet RTO and RPO requirements across all disasters.
  • Simplify DR with auto failover, one-click resynchronization, and DR testing.
  • Facilitate patching and testing with zero data loss planned switchovers.
  • Full Oracle technology support.

How StandbyMP works

A simple architecture consists of one primary database and one standby database.  The standby database is continuously updated, warm and ready to take over.

Creation: An intelligent process efficiently creates one or more standby databases in the cloud (remote region).

Synchronization: StandbyMP synchronizes the databases by compressing, sending, and applying  archive logs to the standby(s). Frequency of log transmission is configurable to meet your RPO objectives and hardware constraints.

Monitoring: Real-time monitoring identifies exceptions and sends alert notifications. 

Failover: Failover can be initiated automatically or with a single click. Database failover completes within a few minutes.
