- Option one: upgrade to Oracle 19c EE
This, of course, is Oracle’s first choice for you and you get one guess why that is. Yep – cost. You’ll get almost everything you need, except your IT budget. Given the economic challenges most industries are currently facing, a more affordable option is a better bet, which bring us to your next choice.
- Option two: downgrade to Oracle 19c SE HA
You read that correctly. It really is more of a downgrade than an upgrade. This choice comes with a lot of challenges: no disaster recovery, a single point of failure, slow failover time, higher outage times for rolling upgrades and more. Are you willing to take on all that risk?
The truth is, you have a third option.
- Option three: make Oracle 19c SE HA a true upgrade
You can upgrade to Oracle 19c SE HA, using a data replication solution trusted by the Fortune 500 – that’s a fraction of the cost of native tools. And you can use that same solution to fill the functionality gaps in SE HA.
This approach is more affordable than EE, yet it provides even more critical features, helping you ensure high availability before, during and after your database migrations and upgrades.
