Using AWS Backup and Oracle Fast Recovery Area on Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP for backup/restore of Oracle databases on Amazon EC2
As data grows exponentially, organizations running Oracle databases prioritize minimizing backup time and quicker recovery times in the event of disasters. Oracle databases on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) often configure an Oracle Fast Recovery Area (FRA) to fulfil data protection, disaster recovery, and compliance requirements. The FRA is a centralized, Oracle-managed storage location that streamlines […]
Enhance PostgreSQL resiliency and recoverability using Amazon FSx for OpenZFS
Organizations today often depend on mission-critical database workloads. When these databases become unavailable, it can significantly impact revenue and erode user trust. To mitigate this risk, these critical environments need the fastest possible recovery capabilities if there is a failure. This means having the lowest recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO). Achieving […]
Best practices for connecting your Veeam on-premises environment to Amazon S3
Many users safeguard their on-premises infrastructure with Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR). This is done to minimize the physical backup infrastructure they need to acquire and maintain. Additionally, they seek to make sure that their backups reside in highly durable, secure, and cost-effective storage solutions. By using Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), VBR users can […]
