Case Study: High-Tech Start-Up Firm achieves five 9s availability and market edge with Quest SharePlex for Oracle

Tech start-up gains market edge with near-real time database replication

A privately held high-tech start-up that provides a turn-key M2M SaaS platform to network operators needed its mission-critical applications to be continuously available and geographically redundant from day one. Native Oracle tools and manual approaches couldn’t deliver the near-real-time, high-performance replication and stability required, so the company sought a continuous, automated solution to ensure disaster tolerance and minimal recovery time.

The company built Quest SharePlex for Oracle into its product design to provide near-real-time database replication, in-flight data integrity, monitoring and repair — without impacting OLTP performance. As a result, it has achieved five 9s of application availability for seven years, gained a clear competitive advantage in the market, and kept operations lean and easy to manage.
