Hi Dave,

I work for a a company called DataMirror (http://www.datamirror.com) and I recommend that you take a look at our products. DataMirror has a product called iReflect which is a true high availability solution for Oracle databases and it has been designed for customers like yourself who are trying to eliminate their latency problems. Check out this story about a company that is using iReflect to keep their website up and running:

You can get more info (like White Papers and Fact Sheets) on the iReflect product by clicking here:
http://www.datamirror.com/solutions/liveresiliency/ In particular I'd recommend reading the white paper as it talks about the various different methods of data replication and what some of the pros and cons of each are.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, Brian. Received on Mon Jun 10 2002 - 09:41:36 CDT
