Goran,
We are using both SRDF/A and Server Cloning Processes for replication.
The process is fairly simple  with the most of the coding/scripting  effort .
One of the Issues we've encounted is while the Clone process is running There 
is 
a very high amount  of I/O Being Done as the Disk Frame level. Since a clone  
can only be done in the Same Frame level. This can cause Database Bottlenecks 
albeit for a small period of time . 

We've Move to Data guard  due to these issues. 
May i Ask what  is the requirement .  If Offloading Backups is the need. I've 
found Physical Dataguard to be better than  EMC Cloning.
SRDF/A is a different product set from EMC and it allows for between 
Frame/Datacenters replication.  It is a fairly costly  solution though.
While Oracle will certify an Oracle Database Running on an EMC Frame. It will 
not certify a 3rd Part product. 

The technology is called Split mirror  and the EMC Product is Time Finder.

Hi all,

at the place where I work, management would like to implement EMC Replication 
(as we have EMC SAN's) for our databases between two Data Centers instead of 
DataGuard for certain DB-systems.
According to EMC sales, the process is certified by Oracle although I didn't 
find any reference on Metalink (could be also, I didn't search it well).
If someone (out there ;-) ) is already using it, I would appreciate if you 
could 
tell me your experiences and possible pitfalls regarding implementation.

Best Regards,
Goran
