Quest Software, Inc., represented locally by Blue Turtle Technologies, has announced the launch of LiteSpeed Engine for Oracle backup and recovery. For years, Quest Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: QSFT) has provided the SQL Server market with advanced, high-performance backup compression and encryption via LiteSpeed for SQL Server. Now Quest brings this same high-quality, cost-cutting backup and recovery technology to the Oracle platform.
The strain of today’s current market conditions combined with increasingly high-volume, diverse database environments underscores the need for quickly realized cost savings and optimal use of IT resources. LiteSpeed Engine for Oracle offers database administrators (DBAs) an advanced tool that cuts storage costs, reduces backup and restore times and delivers a solid return-on-investment. Oracle DBAs charged with handling secure backup and recovery strategies on a lean budget can realize 70 to 90 percent compression with LiteSpeed while maintaining complete control over the backup and recovery process. “It is pretty common place for DBAs to have responsibility for both Oracle and SQL Server systems. Litespeed is the ideal solution for backup and recovery on both platforms,” says Alan Kuun, product manager, Blue Turtle Technologies. “Early international customers using LiteSpeed for Oracle, have seen phenomenal results— up to 80 percent reduced storage and vastly increased efficiency in backup and recovery operations on Oracle.”
LiteSpeed for Oracle is tailored to the needs of Oracle and cross-platform DBAs, integrating seamlessly into Oracle’s Recovery Manager (RMAN) and export backup strategies. Other benefits of LiteSpeed’s low-impact compression technology include:
- Backup size reduction of up to 90 percent
- Backup and restore times reduced by up to 50 percent
- Four different levels of encryption
- Direct integration with Tivoli Storage Manager
- Support for Oracle’s Media Manager architecture
According to Quest, Quest Software SQL Server DBAs have depended on the advanced technology and true benefits of LiteSpeed for years, and customers have been asking for this capability to be extended to the Oracle market.
