Oracle uses a two-stage write-to-database.  Changed rows are written into a redo log, and periodically a log segment is written to the physical storage (datafile).  Assuming the database is running in archive log mode, the saved redo log is copied to an archive log, after which the redo log may be re-used.  

Copies of an archive log may be written concurrently to one or more directories, on multiple hosts, for redundancy.
