Recovery Appliance X7

The Oracle Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance[1] (Recovery Appliance or ZDLRA) is a computing platform that includes Oracle Corporation (Oracle) hardware and software built for backup and recovery of the Oracle Database. The Recovery Appliance validates backups, automatically corrects many issues, and provides alerts when backups fail validation.[2][3][4].

Oracle's Recovery Appliance is designed for use with the Oracle database, and does not work with non-Oracle databases, and takes the place of 3rd party backup and recovery products. [5][6][7][8]. Industry analyst firm ESG[9] (via ESG Lab) reviewed the Oracle Recovery Appliance and noted that it meets the needs of the financial services industry and provided what they call “Fiduciary Class Data Recovery[10][11][12] to meet the high level of trust required by Financial institutions.

The Recovery Appliance was introduced in 2014 as part of Oracle Corporation's family of Engineered Systems[13] and shares components with the Oracle Exadata Database Machine, with an additional layer of software that provides the specific features for backup, recovery, replication, monitoring and management.

The Recovery Appliance uses an elastic configuration starting with a "Base Rack" that can be incrementally increased to a "Full Rack" or larger "multi-rack" configurations. A Base Rack is capable of managing over 100 terabytes of backup data, while a Full Rack can manage over 700 terabytes. Multi-Rack configurations of up to 18 racks wide can manage more than 13 petabytes of data[1]. Since Recovery Appliance only needs to store data that has changed, the actual size of databases that are protected can be many times larger than the storage capacity of a Recovery Appliance[14].
