How to Extend Oracle Database Disaster Recovery to Google Cloud — Without Starting from Scratch

Click here for the Solution Brief.

If you're running mission-critical workloads on Oracle Database, chances are you already have disaster recovery on your radar. But what happens when you want to extend that DR strategy into Google Cloud — without rearchitecting everything or duplicating your entire environment?

That's exactly one of the challenges we built RackWare to solve.

DR Isn’t Just About Databases Anymore

Databases are clearly a primary priority in your disaster recovery strategy. But in every enterprise environment, the database is just one part of a larger ecosystem — app servers, middleware, web front ends, identity services, and maybe even containerized components.

If your recovery plan doesn’t include your entire ecosystem, you're only protecting part of your operations and at risk for business-threatening downtime in the event of an outage.

That’s why more enterprises are looking to complement their Oracle DB protection with a broader, platform-aware strategy — especially as they explore multi-cloud resilience.

Why Google Cloud?

Google Cloud is increasingly attractive for Disaster Recovery: it’s secure, compliant, cost-effective, and supports hugely diverse workloads — including those that can run mission critical Oracle Databases. For organizations already invested in Oracle Databases and other applications, this opens up a powerful new option for cross-cloud resiliency without giving up performance or control.

RackWare Makes the Transition Seamless

RackWare sits at the intersection of Oracle and Google Cloud, enabling enterprises to:

• Replicate full Oracle workloads to GCP — including databases, middleware, and app components — without modifying code or requiring agents.

• Support DR from any source environment — on-prem, Oracle Cloud, or other public/private clouds.

• Enable dynamic DR provisioning in GCP — spin up resources only when needed, or keep hot standbys ready for fast recovery.

• Automate failover with policy-driven governance — ensuring your DR plan is auditable, repeatable, and aligned with compliance standards.

• RackWare even supports Disaster Recovery in GCP for physical servers running on prem.

Unified DR, Multi-Cloud Agility

With RackWare, you can maintain the integrity and performance of your Oracle stack while extending its protection across clouds.

Think of it as DR automation for the full enterprise stack — not just the database.

What You Gain:

• Simplified Oracle DR to Google Cloud

• Flexibility across hypervisors, platforms, and clouds

• Cost control through dynamic provisioning

• Confidence in uptime, compliance, and recovery
