Subject: Dataguard Exadata -> Database Appliance
 


 
I was just asked by management whether it would be possible to run Dataguard from Exadata (Primary) to a Database Appliance (Standby).  I can’t think of a reason why that wouldn’t be possible.
 
I’m not sure that’s the question they are actually asking though which is:  Would it be justifiable for us to save some money and run our standby on cheaper hardware (and consequently software licensing)?
 
I don’t think processing power differences will be a problem for quite some time.  The biggest drawback I can think of is that all of a sudden you have to keep OS/GI (running RAC)/RDBMS versions and patching at the same level.
 
What else am I not thinking of?  …how bad of an idea is it?
 
I would have even really considered it as a possibility but then I don’t pay the bills or have to justify them either.
 
Thanks for any help with this.
 
Chris
