Reduces backup windows to 0 Ideal for protecting your Hyperion financial applications Secure backup Works on both, BSO and ASO Works on any Essbase and Planning version Companies are moving to next-‐generation backup and recovery as a result of exponential data growth, regulatory compliance, increased service-‐level agreements and shrinking backup windows. The IT team faces additional challenges brought on by growing finance functions and their needs to reliable and high available data. THE PROBLEM Imagine your Finance team is working hard to get your quarter-‐end closed, have all the data into Hyperion and have it all calculated as well as have the Financial Reports printed out and the system suddenly stops working. You call your IT department to get more information on what is happening and you hear: “I’m sorry but your Essbase/Planning application is facing issues and we will have to restore the data from the last backup we have” (which is usually 1 day old or more and it take hours to be restore!). Or even worse, imagine that someone in your team runs a calculation that shouldn’t be executed at that time and your Planning & Budgeting data is all wrong or a calculation is not well designed and miscalculate all your Forecast. You would have to call your IT and ask them to restore the data backup, which could take hours. How would you face this situation, having to let your team know that they might have lost an entire day or week of work and will have to re-‐do it again? THE BASIC SOLUTION The only technique that Oracle provides, forces you to stop your Essbase/Planning application in order to take good backups of the data, or it forces you to put your application into “Archive Mode”. Either way, your application is not going to be available for use during backup, your Finance team will not be able to input their data, will not be able to run their Calculations and Business Rules and so on and because of that, you can’t backup your data often. Specially for environments that are heavily used or operated by finance teams in different time-‐zones, having the Hyperion applications stopped for hours could heavily impact performance and Financial Closures due dates when one of these basic solutions are used.
