Avisit Solutions Limited
Oracle disaster recovery made simple and cost-effective
Avisit Solutions Limited are the developers of Dbvisit - The Oracle Disaster Recovery Solution used in 41 countries worldwide.
Are you prepared for a data disaster?
93% of companies that suffer significant data loss are out of business within 5 years (US Bureau of Labour).
Oracle Disaster Recovery (DR) is vital, without it your business could shut down in an emergency. More and more companies are required to comply with
industry regulations in terms of security and data accountability.
Dbvisit is for Oracle database users who require business continuity (BC) and high availability (HA) in case of a disaster, outage or failure.
Our product is now considered one of the most popular disaster recovery and replication solutions worldwide for Oracle databases.
Dbvisit saved us: Our internal Oracle database server failed and we had to failover to the standby server. The failover was entirely successful.

Now with Dbvisit, DR has become accessible for all types of organisations.

What is Dbvisit?
Dbvisit is an automated standby database high-availability software solution and
is a real alternative for Oracle Data Guard without the cost and complexity.
See a comparison between Dbvisit and Data Guard.
Dbvisit works with Oracle RAC, Oracle Standard Edition (SE), Standard One, XE and other Oracle features such as ASM, OMF and Flash Recovery (FRA).
Unlike other solutions our product is flexible, cost-effective, easy to use and does not require upgrading to Oracle Enterprise Edition to be protected in case of internal and external disasters or failures.
How does it work?
Dbvisit automates the synchronisation of a hot standby database at a remote or local location.
A standby database is like having an online hot backup of your database instantly available 24x7.
There is no need to restore in the event of a disaster (which is very time consuming), as there is instant data recovery and database recovery.
It is possible to switch over to the standby database in a matter of minutes to allow business continuity in an emergency.
Dbvisit provides:
- Automatic creation of the standby database from normal, RAC or ASM databases (with restartability).
- Automatic Graceful switchover to reduce downtime during maintenance outages or failback after disaster using its role reversal capabilities.
- Time-delayed standby database updating enabling data loss due to human error or software error to be recovered.
- Compression used to ensure distance independency and minimum bandwidth requirement between production and standby systems.
- Complete protection from all types of failures, including software and human errors, faulty batch jobs, sabotage as well as natural or man made disasters.
- Easy to use with no training required. Simple failover process.
- Works with all editions of Oracle on Linux, Unix and Windows.
- Usability of the standby systems for additional purposes (e.g. reporting, backups, analysis) without any impact on the production systems during normal operations.
- Supports all Oracle features such as RAC, ASM, OMF and Flash recovery area.
- Secure encrypted transport mechanism on all platforms including Windows.
- Continuous and consistent hot backup of your databases.

Why Dbvisit:
Unlike other generic Disaster Recovery products, we focus solely on Oracle and do not compromise on features and functionality to ensure that your Oracle databases are protected.
We support all Oracle features such as RAC, ASM, OMF and Flash Recovery, maximising the benefits of using Oracle.
Cost-effective:
Dbvisit is a cost-effective Oracle standby database solution compared with upgrading to Oracle Enterprise Edition (EE) to enable utilisation of Oracle Data Guard.
The price difference between Oracle Standard Edition (SE) and Oracle Enterprise Edition (EE) is US$30,000* per processor.
Reporting - return on investment:
Dbvisit maximises return on standby hardware investment as processing loads can be offset to the standby database.
For example, your standby database can be used for reporting or datawarehousing purposes which would otherwise impact your primary database.
Or backup your database in the middle of the day from your standby database.
