Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance

Oracle's Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance is an engineered data-protection solution that helps eliminate Oracle Database data-loss exposure throughout an organization. Changes to mission-critical databases are logged to the Recovery Appliance as they occur, enabling customers to recover protected databases to within less than a second of when an outage or ransomware attack occurs. An automated, incremental-only approach to backups with validation on the Recovery Appliance eliminates the need for time-consuming full backups and frees database server and administrative resources for production work. Recovery automation, backup immutability, and a high-availability architecture help organizations meet government requirements for protecting and rapidly recovering crucial data.

Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance features

Oracle Database integrations

Real-time redo transport enables continuous data protection

Oracle Database changes are sent from database server memory to the Recovery Appliance, where they are logged in real-time, protecting customer databases with sub-second recovery point objectives.

Incremental forever backups accelerate protection

Automated, incremental forever backups protect customer databases up to 50X faster than traditional methods, as described in the Energy Transfer video.

Backup validation improves recoverability

Recovery Appliance uses its knowledge of internal Oracle Database formats to validate the integrity of backups when received and during their creation, avoiding a common scenario where database backups are not recoverable. This is crucial for ransomware protection, where data can be infiltrated in any location without warning. Backups are the critical, final layer of defense to recover from a ransomware attack.

Space-efficient, encrypted backups reduce storage consumption

Tightly integrated with Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), Recovery Appliance TDE-aware backups are uniquely space-efficient, reducing storage consumption by 3X or more compared to other solutions.

Virtual full backups accelerate recoveries

Recovery Appliance automatically generates a virtual full backup at the start of the recovery process, enabling up to 8X faster recoveries compared with traditional approaches, as described in the Energy Transfer video.

Copy to cloud improves disaster recovery

Databases can be protected in offsite locations using built-in capabilities for archiving backups to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or replicating them to remote Recovery Appliance systems.

Zero Data Loss, Zero Compromises

Marco Calmasini, Senior Principal Product Manager, Oracle, discusses ransomware and how to protect and recover databases.

GCB Bank modernizes core banking systems with Oracle Exadata and Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance

“We just weren’t sure that we could avoid having to pay a ransom if hackers got in; Recovery Appliance gives us the confidence we were looking for. Our data is protected in real time, backups are continuously validated, and we can quickly restore to any point in time with zero data loss. This gives us the resiliency to say no to hackers—I’m pretty happy with that device.”

Abel Daitey, CIO, GCB Bank PLC

Ransomware Resiliency: Defending and Recovering Oracle Databases from Attacks

Allen Best, Oracle Product Manager

One of the biggest threats to both individuals and organizations in the digital age is the threat of ransomware. This kind of malware encrypts the data of its victims, making it unreadable unless the attacker pays the ransom.

Protecting your databases requires understanding ransomware, how it works, and how to recover in the event of an attack.
