Enable Oracle RMAN to store and retrieve backup data to and from Cloud Storage
Improve Economics of Database Protection
Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN), CloudArray software and services by TriCore Solutions together provide businesses with an easy-to-use and economical solution for backing up Oracle databases to Cloud storage. CloudArray provides an economic and highly reliable storage tier for offsite data backup and replication without the logistics and cost of tape transport. Cloud-based backup using CloudArray are more accessible, faster to restore and more reliable than traditional tape backup used with RMAN. CloudArray seamlessly integrates private and public cloud storage with Oracle RMAN without any changes to IT infrastructure or to RMAN.
What exactly does CloudArray deliver?
CloudArray provides an economical and highly reliable storage tier to applications. This storage tier has the same characteristics as local storage to include performance and security. For data protection applications for databases such as Oracle RMAN, CloudArray serves as a target data repository. For companies that are using tape systems, they can now select CloudArray as the target backup device within RMAN. CloudArray also serves as off-site storage to meet compliance requirements or for recovery. It eliminates all the logistics and cost typically associated with media transport or tape vaulting services.
CloudArray is a standalone software product that serves as a secure interface between server-based applications such as Oracle RMAN and Cloud storage. On the server end, it presents to applications CloudArray volumes via iSCSI (block storage). CloudArray volumes have user-defined policies for caching and replication. On the Cloud storage end, CloudArray interfaces with both private and public Cloud storage APIs without any changes to IT infrastructure or programming required.
Data Security and Privacy for your Database Backups
CloudArray provides the ability to encrypt backup data prior to transporting it to public Cloud storage providers to ensure data security and privacy. CloudArray leverages the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), adopted by the U.S. government and also used to secure top secret information.
