Oracle Database Architecture  Oracle components –Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise Edition –Oracle ASM –Oracle Clusterware  Oracle Extended RAC over VPLEX –Simplified management –Hosts connect only to their local VPLEX cluster –Hosts send I/O only once to the local cluster – dual writes not required –No need to deploy Oracle voting disk and Clusterware on a third site –Eliminates costly host CPU cycles consumed by host-based mirroring –Protects multiple databases and/or applications as a unit

14© Copyright 2012 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. RecoverPoint Replication – Overview Tests  Create a bookmark (named snapshot).  Recover database at Site C to bookmarked point in time.  Verify integrity of recovered database.  Fail over production from Site A to Site C.  Update database on Site C (now the production site).  Recover database at Site A to bookmarked point in time.  Verify integrity of recovered database.
