DISASTER RECOVERY FOR ORACLE SE
Gold Standard Disaster Recovery
Like Oracle Data Guard, StandbyMP uses physical replication technology to create standby databases that are continuously updated, verified and available for failover at any time.
And now, StandbyMP takes Oracle SE Disaster Recovery even further. With the optional Zero Data Loss (ZDL) feature, you can achieve sub-second RPO using continuous redo streaming.
Supports on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments.

- Guided workflows save time and eliminate error, enabling operation by more junior IT members.
- Low overhead through automation of administration tasks.
- Smart notifications are delivered in real-time and are viewable by mail, browser, or Slack.
EASE OF USE
Remove stress with fast recovery and minimal data loss
- Remote deployment for greater geographic resiliency.
- Automated failover (or assisted) after issue detection by real-time monitoring.
- Minimal data loss of typically 5 minutes for Oracle SE, and sub-second with the Zero Data Loss option.
- Warm Standby for fast recovery (RTO) in just a couple of minutes.
DEPENDABLE
Easily perform maintenance and troubleshooting
- One-click resynchronization prevents complex manual processes or a rebuild of the standby database.
- Graceful switchovers through orchestration of planned switchovers by StandbyMP.
- One-click DR testing enables frequent testing without affecting your standby protection.
- 24/7 Real DBA support for quick troubleshooting and DR support.
INTRODUCING ZERO DATA LOSS
A new benchmark!
Sub-second RPO
The StandbyMP Zero Data Loss (ZDL) option adds continuous redo streaming alongside proven archive log replication, giving you sub-second RPO. ZDL provides greater Oracle SE protection without the cost and complexity of moving to Enterprise Edition.
- Sub-second RPO dramatically reduces potential data loss.
- Continuous redo streaming replicates changes as they are generated.
- Dual replication combines ZDL streaming with proven archive log shipping.
- Simple deployment adds ZDL without complex re-architecture or infrastructure changes.
- Easy management through the StandbyMP Control Center or CLI.

Customer Satisfaction
Based on my experience, I highly recommend Dbvisit StandbyMP for all Oracle clients, even on Enterprise Edition. Installation and configuration are much easier for me than Data Guard. Implementing and installing StandbyMP is very straightforward, and their documentation and user guide are first-class.

How it Works
Physical Replication ensures your standby is kept reliably up-to-date
A simple implementation consists of one primary database and one standby database. Physical replication technology prioritizes data integrity and solution resilience whether on-premises, in the cloud, or a hybrid setup.
- 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). Frequency of log transmission is configurable to meet your RPO objectives.
- Zero Data Loss: Optional ZDL adds continuous redo streaming alongside archive log replication, delivering sub-second RPO in suitable enrolments (see FAQ).
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Pricing is per database with a minimum configuration of one primary database, one secondary database and one year of support.
Perpetual licenses and Term licenses are available:
Perpetual licenses - Purchaser owns and retains the license permanently. Support is an additional cost and support renewal is required each year.
Term licenses - Purchased for a predefined period (1, 2 or 3 years) and can be extended at any time during the term. Support is included in the price. The flexibility of Term licenses makes them beneficial for computing environments that may change over the next few years or for limited life projects.
Zero Data Loss option - ZDL is purchased as an additional option to the StandbyMP license and is available as a Term or Perpetual license. Like StandbyMP, a standard solution consists of two licenses, a primary database license and a standby database license.

- Linux on Intel and AMD
The following applies to the Zero Data Loss option. It does NOT apply to the standard StandbyMP.
A suitable environment is a supported Oracle Database configuration that meets the documented ZDL requirements and has sufficient performance headroom for redo replication alongside normal archive-log synchronisation.
Key considerations include overall database and CPU load, network bandwidth, latency and stability, and the performance of the storage hosting the primary redo logs.
These factors should be validated under representative peak workloads, including periods affected by batch processing, backups or other heavy network and storage activity.
We recommend completing a proof of concept (POC) before enabling ZDL or making associated changes in a production environment.
