Disaster Recovery solutions for Oracle...

Hello gurus and senseis ,

Just wanted to ask a silly question (well, not so silly if you are a big shop with tons of clients to whom you sell ASP :p)

Have you guys ever considered any solutions other than RAC and DG? We are using both for our internal development. We are also implementing both for our beefy clients, but many of them cannot afford licenses for all of these fun things..

I started to think and look around: yes, Oracle allows you to use DG without license for up to 10 days, but there are soo many cons that for many of our clients this is not a possibilities.. Failover is a local solution and many of them need remote sites configured in different states..

I am just wondering, is there any paper or article or any insight on the issue? Has anybody done any research? How do people workaround? This kind of thoughts..

Please, share your experience, if any.

Thank you so much before hands and i really appreciate any time you put towards this email.
