Creating an Architecture for Cloning Oracle Databases on Demand
Creating and maintaining multiple Oracle® database copies for development and test, business intelligence, and other purposes can be a storage- and time-intensive process. This paper describes an alternative approach using NetApp FlexClone® technology to create a “clone-on-demand” environment in which multiple thin clones of a production database can be created in minutes using a fraction of the storage space of full copies. These clones can improve your development and business intelligence processes while also simplifying DR testing. Cloning processes can be fully integrated with data masking using SnapManager® for Oracle software. More…
