Configuring the BIG-IP WOM with Oracle Data Guard ... - F5 Networks

Configuring BIG-IP WOM with Oracle Database DataGuard, GoldenGate, Streams, and Recovery ManagerWelcome to the F5 deployment guide for the BIG-IP WAN OptimizationModule (WOM) and Oracle Database Replication. This guide describes howto configure the BIG-IP WOM for Oracle Data Guard, GoldenGate, Streamsand Recovery Manager when you are looking to create an optimized WANconnection between two sites for these Oracle Database services. Oracle'sDatabase replication and integration technologies help enterprises creategreater levels of database integration, synchronization, business continuity,disaster recovery, and fast database failover.Through an innovative, integrated architecture Oracle Data Guard uniquelycombines synchronization, replication, and failover services to provideoracle databases with the features needed for mission-critical uptime forOracle stand alone and Real Application Cluster (RAC) databases.Oracle GoldenGate's best-in-class solutions enable real-time data integrationand continuous data availability by capturing and delivering updates ofcritical information as the changes occur and providing continuous datasynchronization across heterogeneous environments.Oracle Streams enables the propagation of data, transactions and events in adata stream either within a database, or from one database to another.Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) is an Oracle provided database utilityfor backing-up, restoring and recovering Oracle Databases.For more information on Oracle Data Guard, seeoracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/DataGuardOverview.html.For more information on GoldenGate, please seehttp://www.oracle.com/goldengateFor more information on Oracle Streams, seeoracle.com/technetwork/database/features/data-integration/index-094137.htmlFor more information on Oracle RMAM, seeoracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/rman-overview-094650.html.The BIG-IP WAN Optimization Module is built to run natively on theBIG-IP hardware platform, and the F5 TMOS® unified architecture,integrating application delivery with WAN optimization technologies. Thisenables traditional acceleration technologies like SSL offloading,compression, caching, and traffic prioritizing to combine with optimizationtechnologies like TCP Express, symmetric adaptive compression,application quality of service, and data de-duplication, reducing complexityin your data center.
