You should probably read and consider the Moans Nogood article on why you probably don't need RAC.
The more that people consider extremely complicated technologies to approach 100% uptime often the more downtime that people actually experience. But do the legwork and find the article and think it over once and then twice.
Does your organization truly have all the skillsets and experienced people to support RAC 24 by 7? Most places do not. Received on Wed Jul 15 2009 - 07:07:27 CDT
