Leverage Appliances to Achieve Zero Data Loss for Oracle Databases
Good review of cost-tradeoffs for achieving RPO of 0 (i.e., zero data loss) or near zero across your full software stack via your standard block storage platforms and related tools. The problem is that without deep integration with the database, where most corporate data lives, you can't achieve this. No block storage device can give you this 100% (although it can come close with crash-consistent recovery).

In contrast, Oracle's Recovery Appliance can efficiently provide zero data loss for your Oracle databases, where the most important corporate data resides, with flexible topologies to meet varying redundancy requirements and seamless integration with Oracle and third-party tape. This solves your hardest and most important "zero data loss" problem without a lot of complex development, integration, and testing work on your part, while integrating directly into Oracle's OEM management tool platform already being used by your DBA's today.

But as the first comment pointed out, devices such as Recovery Appliance and others mentioned my Trevor must be considered in the light of the complete application software stack to achieve the right service levels for data resilience and data availability back to users and other services.
