Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RAC on extended distance clusteres
Like Mr. Sharman has mentioned, you have to define the purpose/what is your primary objective. balance, availbaility, disaster recovery.. yada...yada..
BTW, you can find some presentations/material on extended clusters on the RAC SIG website at www.oracleracsig.org

Whenever I see someone wanting to use RAC on extended clusters, I have to ask why. It seems people try to use this as a cheap way to provide DR and HA in one foul swoop. I've yet to see anyone succeed in doing HA/DR on the cheap (though that's not for want of people trying!)
I guess I remain to be convinced there's a need for this sort of thing. But then I'm a purist at heart and don't like seeing people using one technology to do two different things that it wasn't really designed for in the first place. :)
