Real-Time Data Integration and Continuous-Availability of Business-Critical Applications

• Oracle GoldenGate allows real-time data movement between heterogeneous source and target systems with minimal overhead on the IT infrastructure, enabling real-time BI solutions, multi-directional data synchronization for distributed systems, zero downtime system upgrades, disaster recovery and migrations between heterogeneous databases, OS platforms and servers.
• Key benefits of Oracle GoldenGate include:
• High Performance: Moves data in sub-seconds, and avoids performance impact on source systems and the network by capturing only committed changed data from transaction logs. As a result, reduces infrastructure costs and improves business insight using timely data.
• Reliability: Maintains transaction integrity while moving and delivering the data; and uses check-pointing mechanism, in the event of interruptions and outages, to continue with data movement from where it left off. These features minimize the risk of data loss that can severely impact business operations.
• Heterogeneity: Supports a variety of open systems/open source and legacy databases on all major platforms and can be deployed unidirectional or bidirectional in multiple topologies. With its flexibility, allows for a single real-time data integration and replication technology to be used across the enterprise, reducing complexity and TCO while meeting the needs of ever changing IT environments.
• In addition, Oracle GoldenGate also offers Oracle GoldenGate Veridata, high-speed data comparison software that identifies and reports on data discrepancies between heterogeneous databases without impacting their availability; and Oracle Management Pack for Oracle GoldenGate, a solution that enables easy management of Oracle GoldenGate deployments across the enterprise.
