CAT for Oracle version 3.0 has been officially released, and it’s delivering a host of features that customers using previous versions have been requesting. The most eye-opening of which is support for Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) databases! That’s right, with CAT for Oracle, you can now clone both single-instance and cluster databases in an automated, repeatable manner. Want to do nightly refreshes of your 40 TB production database to test environments? Setup CAT for Oracle and get that refresh done in seconds using the power of Pure Storage snapshots!
