You can set up SF Oracle RAC for ultimate data protection with global clustering and replication features. VCS provides an option to configure global clusters for wide-area failover and disaster recovery, and Veritas Volume Replicator provides the volume replication capability.
If you are currently administering an Oracle database in a cluster running SF Oracle RAC, you can configure a global clustering environment with a new cluster on a secondary site.
