SharePlex for Oracle

Simple, Affordable, ZeroIMPACT Oracle Data Replication

If you’ve tested Oracle GoldenGate, Data Guard, and Streams only to discover they were slow, complex, or just too expensive, it’s time to check out a better solution. SharePlex® for Oracle is a mature, high-performance, high-availability technology that offers a low-cost alternative to other Oracle replication tools. Unlike other solutions, SharePlex provides data compare and repair, in-flight data integrity, plus monitoring and alerting functionalities – all in one package.

This Oracle replication solution ensures business continuity while meeting your database operational goals. It provides a real-time copy of production data – without impacting your OLTP system’s performance and availability. 

Ease of Use – Provides a fast and easy installation process, allowing you to start using SharePlex in just 15 minutes. Access how-to videos, forums, and expert blogs in our online community to see how you can simplify replication even more.

Log-Based Change-Data-Capture Replication – Ensures target instances are accurate representations of the source database. Identifies and captures all added, updated, and removed data in your Oracle relational tables. Makes change data instantly accessible to individuals and applications.

Fully Automated and Activated – Automates tasks to reduce errors and increase productivity.

High-Integrity Data – Provides built-in features such as reconcile, flush, and compare and repair that ensure the source and target are always in sync. SharePlex also provides peer-to-peer monitoring and conflict detection and resolution, so data can be resynched without the need for a separate server.

Improves Performance – Runs process-intensive reports outside the main production database server.

Low Overhead and Network Impact – Operates within a minimal footprint. A robust queuing system uses memory to pass and buffer data between two processes instead of writing to disk. Provides network efficiency over TCP/IP without compromising data integrity. Replicates large volumes of changes without spikes in network activity.

Flexible Datatype Support – Supports LOBs, including SecureFile LOBs, UDTs, LONG, Varray, Oracle Advanced Compression, and Oracle Table Encryption.

Platform and Version Support – Supports multiple platforms and versions of
Oracle (including 8i through 11g, Standard Edition, and Enterprise Edition), clustered environments, and ASM, RAC, and Exadata (2).
