Openminds Oracle Solutions

Oracle database replication and automated failover over LAN or WAN
Key Oracle processes and file systems are replicated, monitored and recovered on a local or remote server. Recovery can be automated or manual. This solution works with or without shared storage, using data replication to replicate changes in data to the backup server.
Oracle RAC or Oracle Enterprise Edition are not required to recover Oracle databases with LifeKeeper. LifeKeeper presents the Oracle user base with a real alternative to RAC and Data Guard.

Feature Highlights:

Openminds and LifeKeeper, Ensuring Business Continuity

There are many costs relating to downtime. The financial cost alone would be well over £12,000 per day just in lost production and invoicing. In addition, there is also the cost of the loss in staff productivity. However, I believe that the main cost to the company would be the loss in customer confidence. Our credibility is what’s really at stake if we don’t deliver according to our promises.
