Good one though I don’t think that will be an issue for a while either.

HCC support would be another issue I think.

I was just asked by management whether it would be possible to run Dataguard

reason why that wouldn’t be possible.

I’m not sure that’s the question they are actually asking though which is:  
Would it be justifiable for us to save some money and run our standby on 
cheaper hardware (and consequently software licensing)?

I don’t think processing power differences will be a problem for quite some 
time.  The biggest drawback I can think of is that all of a sudden you have to 
keep OS/GI (running RAC)/RDBMS versions and patching at the same level.

What else am I not thinking of?  …how bad of an idea is it?

I would have even really considered it as a possibility but then I don’t pay 
the bills or have to justify them either.

Thanks for any help with this.

Chris
