Solve AWS DR Challenges with a Cross-Region Warm Standby for Oracle SE

AWS gives you infrastructure, not resilience. Oracle SE users face real limitations - no warm standby for EC2, and only partial protection with Multi-AZ on RDS. StandbyMP solves this with a proven, cost-effective cross-region warm standby solution on EC2 and RDS Custom.

EC2: Solve Oracle SE’s Lack of Warm Standby Support

Use AWS RDS Custom with StandbyMP to create real out-of-region Oracle SE standby databases, fully accessible for reporting and disaster recovery testing, delivering greater resilience and functionality without increasing your AWS costs.

RDS: Solve Multi-AZ’s Limited Resilience & Functionality

Introducing StandbyMP

StandbyMP enables you to intuitively create and manage warm standby databases on Oracle SE, just like Data Guard on Oracle EE. Right-size your database license and save up to 80% on Oracle licensing.

Cost Effective: Save up to 80% on Oracle licensing with Oracle SE.
Effortless: Simple standby creation and management is easy with our intuitive UI, API and CLI.
Resilient: Out-of-region location delivers maximum protection (significantly better than Multi-AZ)
Fully Featured: Maximize standby value with zero-data-loss switchovers, reporting, and DR testing.
Flexible Deployment: Multi-Cloud, Hybrid-Cloud, and On-premise deployments are supported.

How StandbyMP Works

A simple implementation consists of one primary database and one or more standby databases. The standby databases is kept up-to-date using Physical replication technology that ensures database integrity.

Creation: An intelligent process efficiently creates one or more standby databases.
Synchronization: StandbyMP synchronizes the databases by compressing, sending, and applying archive logs to the standby(s). The frequency of log transmission is configurable to meet your RPO objectives.
Monitoring: Real-time monitoring identifies exceptions and sends alert notifications.
Failover: Failover can be initiated automatically or with a single click. Database failover completes in as little as 30 seconds (hardware and database size dependant).

Unified DR with Multi-Mode and Multi-Cloud Support

Dbvisit StandbyMP enables tech stack consolidation and simplified management using its multi-platform database support and multi-cloud compatibility.

Multi-Platform Support: Create and manage DR across Oracle SE, SQL Server and PostgreSQL from a single UI.
Multi-Mode Support: StandbyMP supports cloud-cloud, hybrid, and on-premises DR setups, making it easier to manage complex environments.
Multi-Cloud Flexibility: Create DR standby environments across clouds for ultimate resiliency, such as AWS EC2 and Oracle Bare Metal.

StandbyMP for Oracle SE on AWS EC2

Running Oracle Standard Edition (SE) on AWS EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) with Dbvisit StandbyMP gives you full control over your database infrastructure. This flexible, cost-effective deployment supports custom configurations and delivers resilient, automated disaster recovery (DR) and high availability (HA) without the need for Oracle Enterprise Edition.

Why EC2: Deploying Oracle on Amazon EC2 provides root-level access and complete control. Flexible OS and Oracle configurations, and Bring Your Own License options, enable EC2 to meet requirements for legacy architectures, specialised security or compliance requirements, and specific Oracle functionality that may be limited by DbaaS (database as a service).

Benefits of EC2 + Oracle SE + StandbyMP

Complete control with full root-level access
Highly Flexible compute, OS and Oracle configuration
Wide support for legacy components and specialised requirements
Excellent RPO/RTO with continuously updated standby database (StandbyMP)
Lower costs utilising Oracle SE licensing

StandbyMP for Oracle SE on AWS RDS Custom

Amazon RDS Custom (Relational Database Service) running Oracle SE and Dbvisit StandbyMP combines the convenience of a managed service with root-level access for deeper customization - delivering a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective Oracle database environment with resilient HA/DR.

Why RDS Custom: AWS RDS Custom for Oracle SE retains the scaling and management benefits of RDS’s fully managed database service (DBaaS) but adds root-level access for increased configurability at no extra cost. It addresses the weaknesses of RDS by adding support for out-of-region standby databases using third-party tools, specialised security requirements, and even older Oracle versions.

Benefits of RDS + Oracle SE + StandbyMP

Simplified administration of managed environments
Support for specialised tools/features through root-level access
Lower costs utilising Oracle SE licensing
Excellent RPO/RTO with continuously updated standby database (StandbyMP)
Advanced Disaster Recovery beyond RDS Multi-AZ

- Resilient out-of-region replication

- Read-only access for reporting

- Point-in-time recovery

Automated Failover

The failover assistant enables one-click failover, triggered manually or automatically.

Great RPO & RTO

Recover from any event in just a few minutes, with a maximum 5 minutes data loss.

Graceful Switchover

Zero data loss planned switchovers enable easy migrations and testing.

Multi-Cloud

Easy to configure on premise, hybrid, or in the cloud. Supporting Azure, AWS and Oracle Cloud.

Streamlined DR Testing

Effortlessly perform comprehensive DR testing without affecting your standby databases.

Cost Effective

Our low bandwidth architecture provides enterprise-class DR on Oracle SE keeping things affordable.

Customer Satisfaction

Is Standby compatible with Oracle Clusterware?

StandbyMP is fully compatible with Oracle Clusterware and is proven in single-threaded, RAC, and SE2HA environments.

Why is Disaster Recovery needed if I have RAC / SE2HA?

RAC and SE2HA have a single point of failure around the storage. If an event occurs around the storage - from human error, equipment failure, or natural disaster; then you need to failover to a remote standby database.

StandbyMP easily creates and manages a standby database that is continually validated and available for anytime failover.

RAC is no longer available on 19c, is StandbyMP an alternative?

For many customers yes, but it depends on what your motivations are:

(a) If you prioritize the integrity and resilience of your database so that no matter what disaster occurs you can be sure your business will continue to operate with minimal disruption then Disaster Recovery using StandbyMP is preferred.
(b) If the database is less critical, you want to prioritize application availability with the lowest possible downtime for minor events, and can tolerate larger downtime and data loss for major disasters, then SE2HA may be preferred.
(c) If the processing power of RAC is required then a move to Enterprise Edition is needed. Read more in our blog.

Whats the difference between SE2HA and RAC?

Great question! From 19c RAC is no longer available. But great news, SE2HA is!
