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. ______________________________________________________________ Dick Goulet / Capgemini North America P&C / East Business Unit Senior Oracle DBA / Hosting Office: 508.573.1978 / Mobile: 508.742.5795 / www.capgemini.com Fax: 508.229.2019 / Email: richard.goulet@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 45 Bartlett St. / Marlborough, MA 01752 Together: the Collaborative Business Experience ______________________________________________________________ ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Howard Latham Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2008 10:59 AM To: oracle-l Subject: CO-LOCATION 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? -- Howard A.
