We started work on a 2nd data center 2 years ago, and the equipment to make it functional is starting to come together.
One of the things that is happening is using Hitachi storage and replicating everything in the primary data center to the secondary.
So we end up with a bunch of storage frames at the 2nd location containing exact copies of the disk at our primary location.
The folks who manage our contracts are telling us that Oracle corp. is being a pain, and demanding compensation for these replicated copies of their software, which basically sit idle.
Personally, I can see how Oracle would want a piece of this, because we do derive benefit from it.
The contract folks are suggesting that ONLY Oracle corp. is behaving this way. None of our other vendors.
Does this jive with other people's experience?
Thanks for your input.
