In the case of hybrid disaster recovery and having an unencrypted database on-premises, you can create the corresponding unencrypted standby database in the cloud using RMAN DUPLICATE or RESTORE from Object Storage. When you create a new unencrypted tablespace on the on-premises primary database, the standby database in the cloud creates the corresponding unencrypted tablespace via redo. So everything is fine and you…
No, not necessarily. All Oracle databases from version 12.1 in the Oracle Cloud are automatically deployed using the Multitenant architecture. This is probably the reason why this question is asked. Let’s have a deeper look. Database Cloud Service (DBCS) License Included Oracle provides four pre-defined software editions in the Oracle Cloud to choose from. Each…
One of the most beneficial cloud features is scalability on-demand, paying only for what you use, and releasing the resources when not needed anymore. So the question is, could I configure the standby database to use fewer CPUs than the primary to save costs? Yes, BUT… you have to consider a few things! Oracle Cloud provides…
There are different questions about RAC on Oracle Cloud: Is it possible to deploy RAC on IaaS? Is it possible to deploy more than two RAC nodes on DBCS VMs? Are the RAC nodes deployed on different Fault Domains or Availability Domains? Are databases on ExaCS and ExaC@C always deployed on RAC? Does my Autonomous…
In this part, we will talk about the different database service offerings and their characteristics in Oracle cloud to help you determine the right service to move to according to your needs and requirements. There is no THE ORACLE DATABASE in the cloud, but many different service offerings that primarily differ in their level of…
In this part, we will talk about the benefits of the Oracle cloud. If someone suggests you should do something, the first thing comes into you mind might be „why should I do that?“, “what’s in for me?” or “what are the benefits of doing that?”. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits…
Scalability and elasticity are fundamental elements of cloud computing. They enable to allocate as many resources as needed for the system to fulfill the workload requirements. An essential benefit of the cloud is the ability to scale up and down on demand immediately while using a pay-per-use model and get the best performance at the…
It is critical for organizations to have an overview of their spending, track the consumption, and get notifications if the budget or the forecast exceeds the budget amount to be spent. In this blog post we will discuss how to set up, monitor, and track your spending in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using cost-tracking tags, cost…
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides highly customizable Virtual Cloud Networks (VCN) and connectivity services offering performance, isolation, security, and high availability. In this blog post are going to discuss following topics: Local Peering to manage resources in different VCNs (across tenancies). Remote Peering to implement disaster recovery across regions. Private & Public Peering to implement hybrid cloud solutions. Transit Routing to…
Critical applications have the requirement to run 24/7 and tolerate hardware and software failure and even complete data center outages. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure with its’ regions, Availability Domains (AD), and Fault Domains (FD) provides the needed building blocks to design and run high availability and disaster recovery architectures for your applications and databases. A region…
