NetApp Extends SnapManager Functionality for Oracle Database 11G Customers
SYDNEY, Australia - 8 January
2008 - NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today announced enhanced
capabilities to its SnapManager® for Oracle® software
that further simplify the backup and recovery process for Oracle
Database 11g™ environments running on NetApp® enterprise
storage systems. SnapManager for Oracle is now tightly integrated
with Oracle Database 11g, supporting Direct NFS and new
functionality in Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM)
technology. SnapManager for Oracle can identify where Oracle ASM
files are mapped, enabling database administrators (DBAs) to back
up, restore, and clone database files that are presented in Oracle
ASM disk groups. This functionality helps DBAs minimise database
maintenance time, reduce human error, and improve automation.
Additionally, NetApp SnapManager for Oracle enables higher levels
of data protection with additional capabilities for backing up and
restoring Snapshot™ copies to NetApp secondary storage.
Customers can now leverage SnapManager to streamline the backup,
restore, and cloning of Oracle Databases running on 11g and
Microsoft® Windows® platforms, resulting in improved
productivity, increased interoperability, and maximised data
availability.
"SnapManager for Oracle enables a paradigm shift in the way
customers back up and recover Oracle Databases," said Ari Kaplan,
senior database consultant at Datalink Corporation. "Without
SnapManager for Oracle, a single database backup can typically take
4 hours and recoveries 20 hours. SnapManager for Oracle allows our
customers to leverage the benefits of backup, recovery, and cloning
in minutes."
"With this latest release of SnapManager for Oracle, database
administrators can still accelerate their database backup/restore
and cloning operations, while taking full advantage of the latest
technologies in Oracle Database 11g," said Patrick Rogers, vice
president of Solutions Marketing at NetApp. "Together NetApp and
Oracle continue to break new ground in simplifying datacenter
operations with our unique, joint solution offerings."
