Cohesity SiteContinuity vs Dbvisit Standby MultiPlatform

Cohesity SiteContinuity coordinates disaster recovery for mission-critical workloads, with recovery options ranging from an individual file or business application to a full data center. Its plan builder supports automated failover and failback, continuous data protection, asynchronous replication, non-disruptive recovery testing and restore operations. Organizations can manage physical or virtual clusters at primary and recovery sites, or choose Cohesity-managed disaster recovery that fails over to the customer’s AWS account. Listed targets include VMware Standard or above, versions 6.5 and 6.7, and Cohesity NAS Views for customer-managed deployment; the managed service lists VMware VMs and Amazon EC2 as a target. Interfaces for automation include a RESTful API, PowerShell and Python SDK. The datasheet lists AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest for both options, and anomaly detection for customer-managed deployment. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial listed. Cohesity states that technical support is available around the clock, with a one-hour initial response target for P1 errors.

Dbvisit Standby MultiPlatform, also called StandbyMP, manages standby database creation, synchronization and activation for disaster recovery with Oracle, SQL Server and PostgreSQL. A shared control center brings configurations across the supported platforms together, and the product can be managed through a user interface or CLI/API. Recovery features include one-click graceful switchovers, automatic or guided failover, cascading standby support, reporting, real-time monitoring and smart notifications. Its unified CLI and API support remote control and integration with third-party tools or software suites. The Oracle SE trial includes the Zero Data Loss option, which Dbvisit describes as continuous redo streaming for sub-second RPO. StandbyMP can be installed in on-premises and cloud environments, but it requires an underlying operating system; AWS RDS and OCI Autonomous Databases are unsupported. It supports Linux and 64-bit Windows, subject to certified operating system and database combinations. Cross-platform replication is unsupported except for SQL Server. Licensing is separate by platform and counted per Oracle database, SQL Server instance or PostgreSQL cluster. The full trial lasts 10 days, with a possible extension to 20 days by contacting support. Pricing is available on request.
