Oracle Hosting Overview
The first commercially-available SQL database is still the platform of choice for the most critical applications. As a longtime Oracle partner and believer in this flagship database platform, NeoSpire has designed our managed services so that our clients get all of the availability and security of Oracle without the worry and effort of maintaining this demanding platform.
Mission Critical Managed Hosting means never having to suffer through unplanned downtime. NeoSpire manages some of the most serious business applications supported by Oracle, and our experts can design and deploy the most appropriate high-availability solution based upon any technical and business requirements.
Sample Solutions
Oracle Archive Log Shipping
Pro
- No requirement to license Oracle on the secondary server
- No shared storage necessary
Con
- Data is not replicated in real-time and the secondary server will be several hours behind

Description:
A secondary Oracle server is regularly sent copies of the primary server's archive logs. Upon receipt of the archive logs, the secondary server replays them locally in order to update the local tables.
Real Application Clusters
Pro
- Horizontal scalability of the database tier is possible, similar to web-server load balancing
- Data is always up-to-date on all nodes
Con
- Requires licensed Oracle on all nodes and often additional RAC licensing
- Requires shared storage, such as a SAN

Description
Real Application Clusters ("RAC") is Oracle's proprietary clustering technology. It allows for ACID-safe transactions across an arbitrary
number of fully-functional read/write database nodes.
