How we build a high-availability Oracle database team
The Edstellar DATABASE Capability Model
Diagnose
We assess your Oracle estate, single points of failure, and recovery targets to find where RAC, Data Guard, and GoldenGate fit your roadmap.
Standardize
Teams define cluster, broker, and replication conventions so every highly available Oracle database stays consistent and supportable.
Practice
Learners build clusters, configure Data Guard, and run GoldenGate replication in hands-on labs that mirror your production estate.
Measure
We review failover drills and replication lag together, checking teams can detect gaps and recover before users notice.
Scale
Graduates carry the HA reference architecture to new databases, with runbooks and failover checklists that travel with them.

Program Overview: What is Oracle Database High Availability (RAC, Data Guard, GoldenGate)?
Oracle Database High Availability (RAC, Data Guard, GoldenGate) is Edstellar's instructor-led technical program for DBAs and infrastructure teams protecting Oracle databases from downtime. Participants master the MAA architecture, Grid Infrastructure, RAC administration, Data Guard, and GoldenGate replication across 24 hours of hands-on training. It is built for teams with zero tolerance for database outages.
Training runs lab-first from the first module. Your team builds clusters, configures Data Guard broker, and sets up GoldenGate replication through guided high-availability labs in every module. Instructors coach on failover planning and switchover discipline, reviewing each exercise against recovery targets with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone of end-to-end HA builds and live failover drills, run against the clock with nodes killed and primaries corrupted.
High availability configured once and never tested is just hope: standby databases that will not open, failovers nobody has rehearsed, and replication lag discovered during the outage. Recovery plans fail exactly when they are needed. This program teaches your team to build, test, and drill RAC, Data Guard, and GoldenGate until failover is a practiced routine.
The capstone is a failover drill day: the team builds the full HA stack, then reviewers kill nodes, corrupt primaries, and force switchovers while the clock runs. Data Guard must fail over cleanly, RAC must keep serving, and GoldenGate must catch up without conflict. The team leaves with drilled procedures and the confidence that comes from having already survived the outage.
Across six instructor-led modules, your team learns the Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture, Grid Infrastructure and clusterware, RAC administration, Data Guard broker operations with switchover and failover, and GoldenGate replication design and monitoring. Every concept is reinforced with guided hands-on labs, so learners leave with a working cluster, tested failover runbooks, monitored replication paths, and a capstone HA architecture they can map to their own estate.

Prerequisites: This program benefits teams already operating Oracle databases or supporting applications that depend on them. Familiarity with basic Oracle administration and Linux command-line tools helps but is not required; no prior RAC, Data Guard, or GoldenGate experience is needed. Labs and examples adapt to each cohort's versions and recovery targets.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
High availability comes after core Oracle administration, because RAC and Data Guard build on a well-run single instance. GoldenGate replication then extends availability across sites, and Exadata operations bring all of it together on engineered systems.

Validate Oracle High Availability Through Cluster, Standby, and Replication Drills
Edstellar develops high-availability judgment by connecting recovery targets with Oracle architecture choices. Participants configure cluster and RAC services, exercise Data Guard transitions, and investigate GoldenGate behavior. The final build is reviewed through controlled recovery drills, emphasizing measured outcomes, clear dependency assumptions, and a runbook that supports explainable operational decisions.
- Step 01
Consult
We review Oracle and Linux experience alongside recovery requirements to identify gaps in cluster operations, RAC services, standby transitions, and replication troubleshooting.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish MAA and recovery objectives before Grid Infrastructure and RAC, then develop Data Guard and GoldenGate practice ahead of the integrated failover drills.
- Step 03
Align
We align Oracle availability expertise with database and application-support teams, calibrating lab configurations to their versions, recovery targets, and previous cluster or replication experience.
- Step 04
Customize
Sample workloads, service failures, and replication conflicts reflect relevant availability risks, enabling tailored transition and recovery exercises within isolated training environments.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants verify cluster health, rehearse service maintenance, test standby transitions, and resolve replication lag, receiving feedback on continuity evidence, conflict handling, and reinstatement decisions.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the HA architecture and runbook for justified recovery mappings, verified cluster and standby behavior, documented replication results, and drills measured against the stated objectives.
