DataMirror
extends data protection capabilities for Oracle databases
DataMirror, a provider of enterprise application
integration and resiliency solutions, has launched a new version
of its iReflect high availability and resiliency software for Oracle
business environments. The new version was launched at OracleWorld,
the world's largest conference and exhibition dedicated to Oracle
technology.
DataMirror iReflect enables Oracle customers
to build a resilient enterprise that ‘is virtually impervious
to downtime’.
The enhancements in Version 1.5 extend iReflect's
core functionality. They include:
* DDL Refresh - iReflect's
DDL support and object refresh functionality has been extended to
include the ability to refresh an object's definition before refreshing
its data. The ability to refresh, replicate and audit data definition
language used to create and modify database objects greatly reduces
the time and effort required to perform common administrative tasks.
* Master-to-Master Replication
- enterprises that employ application load sharing between servers
can use iReflect's bi-directional data replication to maintain data
integrity. Enterprises can maximise their investment in existing
systems through the ability to easily distribute Oracle data and
workload across multiple servers.
* Sync Check - verify data
definition and content of objects between source and target Oracle
systems to ensure data integrity. Sync Check ensures that vital
data is available and consistent across all Oracle systems and reduces
system vulnerability.
DataMirror iReflect uses intelligent database-level
mirroring to achieve superior uptime and availability for data assets
on Oracle9i. The iReflect log-based solution mirrors Oracle database
transactions from the primary system to the backup system in real-time,
and supports cross-platform replication between Sun, Hewlett-Packard
and IBM pSeries systems. It has the ability to detect primary system
failure and invoke operational switching
