and services from TriCore™ Solutions
TwinStrata.com 2
Overview
The following presentation provides a functional overview on:
How Oracle RMAN together with CloudArray and TriCore services work seamlessly to protect your Oracle database
This solution provides an economic and highly reliable storage tier for offsite data backup and replication without the logistics and cost of tape transport
Compares Oracle cloud module to CloudArray software
The presentation also provides a 3-year TCO summary on CloudArray vs. existing backup and replication solutions
Details for a Free 30-day evaluation of CloudArray software

Storing backup data for recovery in the Cloud offers many benefits, but how do we inexpensively connect RMAN to Cloud storage? Can we decide on the storage Cloud provider? Are copy services available in the Cloud such as snapshots?

Volumes are provisioned from local storage used as a cache.
Cache size is user-configurable where volumes can be partially cached or 100% cached.
The cache offers fast access to data and supports DAS, SAN, SSD, NAS.
