Neverfail for Oracle Database

Neverfail’s Solution for Oracle database ensures application reliability and resilience for continuous data protection and availability.

How much does your business depend on the Information stored in your Oracle database? In addition to database capacity and performance, data availability is critical to the productivity and profitability of businesses of all sizes. In an IDC Trends in Storage Survey, the top challenge related to storage management is providing the right levels of data availability and recovery. However, high availability and disaster recovery for your Oracle database doesn’t have to be a challenge. With Neverfail for Oracle Database you can ensure the reliability and resilience of your data; keeping users continuously connected and critical business information always available.

The heart and soul of Neverfail - Neverfail Heartbeat
The most important consideration in protecting your Oracle database environment is creating a real-time, duplicate copy of your data. Neverfail Heartbeat sits at the core of Neverfail’s suite of affordable, “cluster-class” solutions, replicating data from your active to your passive server, over a LAN or a WAN.

Neverfail’s high availability solution proactively monitors your entire Oracle database environment
Data is the foundation that your business relies upon and that data is always changing. To ensure high availability and continuous data protection, Neverfail for Oracle Database proactively monitors your database environment looking for just such changes

In addition to monitoring the Oracle application, Neverfail for Oracle Database is the only cluster-class, high availability solution to proactively monitor the health of your entire Oracle database environment, including: physical server hardware, network infrastructure and operating system. If any problem occurs, Neverfail can take a variety of preemptive, corrective actions without resorting to a full system failover. In extreme cases, a graceful switchover to your secondary server can occur automatically, ensuring continuous data availability.

Neverfail can also protect auxiliary applications that you may have installed onto your server. These may include supporting applications such as anti-virus, backup and archiving solutions. Our Application Module eXtension - AM(X) - technology provides an application program interface to easily and rapidly generate these extension products.

High availability over a LAN or WAN environment
Neverfail for Oracle Database can be configured to protect your data in either a LAN or WAN environment. Where bandwidth or network utilization is an issue or needs to be reduced, the Neverfail Low Bandwidth Module (LBM) is available to optimize and reduce the amount of data that is transmitted between the two servers.

Neverfail provides seamless switchback capabilities
In addition to offering both manual and automatic switchover capabilities, Neverfail for Oracle Database also features the ability to seamlessly switchback, something replication solutions can’t offer. Whether your primary server is down for several hours or even days, Neverfail will seamlessly resynchronize your servers when the primary does come back online, and allow you to switch your workload back to a normal production state within a few minutes by the simple click of a button!

Reliability is the first and most crucial step to achieving high availability
The successful implementation and ongoing performance of any cluster-class high availability solution is predicated upon a reliable technology platform. Neverfail’s Server Check Optimization Performance Evaluation (SCOPE) is the only automated software solution to deliver a comprehensive health “check-up” of your server environment. SCOPE identifies existing configuration and performance issues in your environment prior to installation of a high availability solution and it provides “snapshots” of your environment to ensure on-going reliability.

Neverfail Data Rollback Module
Data Rollback Module complements Neverfail’s core technology by providing a simple and swift application restart from earlier points in time, to ensure data restoration and regain data integrity quickly and efficiently after data corruption has occurred. Neverfail Data Rollback Module runs directly on top of Neverfail Heartbeat, and utilizes the Microsoft® Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) technology to provide an efficient application/data restoration and retrieval mechanism.
