STORServer Data Protection for Oracle on OpenVMS, Linux and TRU64 UNIX

Because Oracle databases are among a company's single most valuable data assets, they demand the best data protection strategy and solution available. With STORServer Data Protection for Oracle (SDP), that is exactly what you get. SDP minimizes system and application downtime, increases administrator productivity, and provides superior backup performance.

Hot Backup for Oracle

STORServer Data Protection for Oracle is a software product, which works with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) and the backup-certified Recovery Manager (RMAN) provided by Oracle. This indestructible combination along with the robustness, reliability and High Availability (HA) features of these operating systems provide a powerful backup/archive solution for your irreplaceable application data.

In conjunction with TSM, SDP automates data protection and allows the Oracle database server to continue executing mission critical applications while safely securing your data to offline storage. Being able to manage and automate data protection on running database servers vastly reduces costly application downtime -- and saves you money.

By adding the backup capabilities of STORServer Data Protection for Oracle to your database management toolbox, you gain the power of centralized backup/archive management, on-line backup and restore, incremental backup and automated storage management functions.

With STORServer Data Protection for Oracle you can store data on a wide variety of storage devices and perform:
