Enterprise Oracle environments require backup and recovery infrastructure that keeps pace with database growth. Traditional approaches force compromise between backup frequency, recovery speed, and operational complexity. FlashBlade eliminates these trade-offs.
The validated configurations in this paper demonstrate:
-
Single-node throughput of 8-10 GB/s (~30-35 TB/hr) with optimized RMAN settings
-
Distributed RAC operations exceeding 15 GB/s (~55-60 TB/hr) for backup and restore
-
10TB database recovery in approximately 10 minutes using distributed channels
-
Near-linear scaling when consolidating multiple databases on a single FlashBlade
FlashBlade's symmetric read/write performance ensures recovery operations run as fast as backups. When an incident occurs, restore throughput matches the infrastructure's full capability rather than degrading to a fraction of backup speed.
For Oracle environments where backup windows are shrinking and recovery SLAs are tightening, FlashBlade provides the throughput foundation to meet both requirements with margin to spare.
