Business Requirements
Slow and Expensive Disaster Recovery Site Synchronization
When Jade Global began working with OmniVision Technologies, the business was using Oracle Apps (Oracle E-Business Suite R12) for its ERP system and Oracle Data Guard for its disaster recovery (DR) site. OmniVision has a DR site for database and applications in Colorado and another DR solution in a datacenter located in Austin, Texas. The DR site had been setup with an Oracle application and database server using Oracle Data Guard, a comprehensive software that ensures high availability, data protection and disaster recovery for enterprise data.
Despite having a dedicated pipeline between primary and standby sites, OmniVision was facing multiple issues. Site sync was slow, expensive, and unusable as a standby database due to bandwidth issues. Manual logging was required every few hours to bring the backup sync in line with the primary sync.
Business Challenges
All maintenance tasks required in-person travel, increasing cost of maintenance
DR site in frequent state of risk due to power failures, hardware, etc. (80% functional, 20% non-functional)
Issues with Oracle Application server and database server in DR site: Slow site sync, expensive and unusable as a standby database due to limited bandwidth
Performance degradation due to network limitations
