We've reached the end of the chapter. The integration of Data Guard with Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, RMAN, and RAC was covered with examples. As mentioned before, it's not enough only to install a Data Guard configuration; we should also integrate it with the current Oracle database environment and the other Oracle products in use, whenever possible. This will help us build a comprehensive, effective, and highly available database system.

The next chapter will show you how to apply database patches to Oracle Data Guard environments with key points and best practices.
