Extended cluster Vs Data Guard (costs vs benefits)
602469Oct 10 2007 — edited Jan 22 2008Hi all,
The business is demanding minimum downtime (fast failover <5mins)to the DR site is also wanting to utilise the dormant hartdware that is in the DR site.
There is a distance of 15km between the two sites.
I am thinking of proposing Oracle RAC extended clustering as an option as I am not sure if DG can archive failover to secondary site within 5mins.
Also, if RAC is running across two sites then is DG really required?.
Cheers
Ashok
