OCI Storage gateway - For Rman backups

 

Acronym 

SG - Storage Gateway

OSS - Object Storage Service

Intro 

Syncing data from on-prem to the cloud is always challenging. Oracle introduced a storage gateway to address the primary use case of Object Storage Service (OSS) Storage Gateway to Data Transfer between On-premises applications and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). 

Apart from this, OSS Storage Gateway is a highly usable solution for Backups, Archival, and Disaster Recovery. Storage Gateway is the evolution of the Storage Software Appliance which was available with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic (OCI-C) and on OCI it's enhanced with file-to-object transparency and improved scale and performance.

In this article,  I will cover the steps to configure the storage gateway.

OCI Data Safe - Part 2 (Data Discovery)

 

Intro

We live in a digital era where the most valuable asset is data. Most organizations are investing in the cloud to take a business edge to become more competitive in the market. When their databases are migrated to the cloud next stride is taken to protect the data. But not having a proper monitoring dashboard and understanding of data may lead to sudden data breaches. Without understanding what kind of data you have it's impossible to drill down to implement data protection elements like data masking. 

A protection method must be implemented on all environments like Dev, Test, Pre-Prod, and UAT.  Databases are the key component in any organization. During the Audit time period security administrators spend hours gathering information related to the database security measurements. But having a centralized dashboard to view all the activity help to understand the data and implement proactive measurements to protect data. Oracle data safe is a powerful and flexible tool to protect Oracle databases. Data-Safe is a unified control center for managing database security in the Oracle Cloud, both for your Oracle Cloud Databases and your Oracle On-Premises Databases.
