SharePlex use case scenarios impact-free and limitless! On-premises, remote or in-the-cloud 11 Confidential Global Marketing
Ensure high availability and fast disaster recovery Ensure business continuity to meet five 9 s SLA requirements for unplanned & planned downtime. Provides an alternate copy of production data for failover in the event of maintenance or downtime. Ensures production databases are available 24x7. Ensures high-level of user experience and avoids loss in revenues or end-user satisfaction due to loss of critical data Supports active-active (bi-directional, multimaster), active-passive (uni-directional) configurations 12 Confidential Global Marketing
Zero-impact migrations, patches, and upgrades Migration of application version, database version, storage, hardware platform or sometimes all four. Decrease downtime by switching users to the replica system while the migration is being performed on production. Eliminate risk providing a failback if the changes have undesired effect. Supports multiple dry-runs. Reduce costs and mistakes by performing the changes during working hours. 13 Confidential Global Marketing
Offload operational reporting Ad hoc querying, reporting, data warehousing or Business Intelligence can be run from a secondary copy of the instance (all or a subset). Distribute read-only and read-write workload Reduces contention, data footprint and improves performance on your production system. Avoids performance degradation from times of high-volume reporting such as month, quarter or year end. Immediate business benefits can be achieved offsite. Can be placed on Standard Edition database and in-the-cloud as a cost-effective SaaS model to provide 24x7 reporting without production impact. 14 Confidential Global Marketing
Reliable data distribution and distributed processing Databases are geographically dispersed over WAN, LAN or Satellite anywhere around the globe. Distribute data to different servers, keeping all copies of the database current. Copies can all be different database versions & indexed differently. Replicate all or a subset. Unlimited number of targets. 15 Confidential Global Marketing
Effective and efficient centralized reporting & consolidation Consolidation of store(s) or multiple facilities can provide real-time replicate data to the corporate office over LAN, WAN, cloud or satellite networks. Supports large topologies of remote offices / stores to consolidate data centrally. Posting files can be managed by start/stop to control the flow of data real-time, hourly, daily or as requested to disseminate copies of production data wherever needed. 16 Confidential Global Marketing
Scalability through load balancing Data replication in place of Real Application Clusters (RAC) Applies conflict resolution as required by the circumstance and as defined by your business rules and needs. Provides the fastest possible fail over time that can be achieved using any technology in a WAN environment. Copies can all be different database versions & indexed differently. 17 Confidential Global Marketing
Cascading to intermediary systems Provides regional distribution then allows for district and store distribution of data. Replicate data between long distances and to targets not directly connected. No Oracle software is required on this node if it will only be acting to store and forward. Cascading or fanning the data allows for different data to reach desired targets without sending all the network packets forward to every target location. Move data past firewall thru secure servers without the need of Oracle licensing on transporting servers. 18 Confidential Global Marketing
Change tracking For auditing and discovery purposes Keep track of changes made to a defined set of tables Records all changes including user id, timestamp, SCN, source row id, key values, transaction id, operation type Store the change tracking data on the primary server or a secondary server 19 Confidential Global Marketing
