Oracle database replication

Is it possible to mirror a "central" oracle database running on one machine to other "backup" machine(s) ? All amendments will only be made on the central database and all these changes need to be mirrored to all backups. The the backups will only be queried and no amendments will be made to them.

Thankyou in advance for all the responses.

Thanks,

Mukesh
