Because of the high data transfer and data utilization speeds, Repstance can be used to build high availability systems for logical standbys. Standby databases will always be in sync with all changes coming from the the Master Database and can be switched over to in seconds while simultaneously being available for all user queries and updates.
Some of the user tasks which do not alter stored data (for example reporting, data extraction, complex calculations, etc) can be “offloaded” onto the standby database/s in order to reduce the processing load of the Master Database and still have it available for user queries.
