Instant Backups and Database Cloning in a Virtual World

The ability to rapidly create copies of both production and test databases, and to rapidly recreate these databases in support of a variety of development, test, QA, and migration scenarios is fundamental to today's application development lifecycle.
In this presentation, we review traditional and emerging approaches to "database cloning" and demonstrate how space and time efficient copies, such as NetApp’s FlexClone™ technology, can drastically reduce time to deployment and improve business agility for Oracle Applications and other database-centric application development.
This presentation will also explore how one can leverage ASM and Oracle-Optimized-NFS (DNFS) to further enhance this dynamic environment.
