Quest Software Unveils LiteSpeed Engine for Oracle

Quest Software stated that it has provided the SQL Server market with advanced, high-performance backup compression and encryption via LiteSpeed for SQL Server.

Now Quest said it brings this same backup and recovery technology to the Oracle platform with the launch of LiteSpeed Engine for Oracle.

According to Quest, LiteSpeed Engine for Oracle offers database administrators (DBAs) an advanced tool that cuts storage costs, reduces backup and restore times and delivers a solid return-on-investment. Oracle DBAs charged with handling secure backup and recovery strategies on a lean budget can realize 70 to 90 percent compression with LiteSpeed while maintaining complete control over the backup and recovery process.

"Having responsibility for both Oracle and SQL Server in my environment has become much easier and more seamless now that I can use LiteSpeed for backup and recovery on both platforms," said Tom Sager, DBA manager, E.ON US. "Using LiteSpeed Engine for Oracle, we achieved phenomenal results--81 percent reduced storage and vastly increased efficiency in our backup and recovery operations on Oracle."

"SQL Server DBAs have depended on the advanced technology and true benefits of LiteSpeed for years, and our customers have been asking for this capability to be extended to the Oracle market," said Billy Bosworth, vice president and general manager SQL Server, Quest Software. "In these tough economic times, customers want to work with vendors whom they can rely on over the long haul for all their database needs. We're very excited to bring cost savings, efficiency, and dependability to the Oracle backup market."
