Re: CO-LOCATION

The "Cage" solution is not uncommon from what I've seen. I've also seen situations where you could go in but you were always escorted. In a couple of cases, I've seen that a limited number of employees (say 2-5) were allowed but they had to go through background checks. DIck is right though, security is paramount.

I know CSX in Jacksonville, Fl. was at one time looking to do hosting in their data center. That was years ago, and I don't know if that is still the case, but you might talk to them. They had a heck of a facility.

The problem with data guard, at that distance, could be latency.

Howard,
 
            Well we�re a LONG way from London UK , but hosting centers really don�t
like people on their data centers who are not employees.  The reason is we don�t
appreciate the security risk to other clients in there.  Now If you really want
unrestricted access I�m sure we can build a cage around your hardware
that we can lock you into, for a cost of course.

We are looking for a good site for DR where can have an active standby
using 11g for a
500 gig database. 
 
One site told us we couldn't have access to their building and "Oh
yes we have 24*7 technicians with Oracle 11g Active Dataguard experience"
but seriously
does anyone have views on hosting where you have to everything remotely
and does anyone know a good co location site near Leicester Square ?
