well despite having shamelessly stolen Mogen's title and presented
"You Probably don't need to pay loads for DataGuard when there are
other cheaper solutions around" at UKOUG I'd wouldn't be comparing to
RAC, but evaulating the cost of lost systems and the cost of
manageability of alternative DR solutions. For people that do care
about near continuous availability DG is really quite cheap - even if
you didn't buy EE and is (reasonably) easy to manage. It helps that it
is a somewhat old and reliable technology as well.
