Like I said as the above, DataGuard has quite a few advantages over Remote Disk Mirroring. I believe physical standby database is still the mainstream in Oracle community. Hardware solution is much more costly than DG.
For example, my database is 2 Terabytes. With DG, I just need a standby database siting in a remote server. Primary + Standby = 4 Terabytes.
With IBM ESS (Shark): PPRC between Priamry and the second db copy , Flashcopy from the 2nd and 3rd copy. Total disk storage = 2T * 3 = 6 Terabytes. Hitachi Universal replicator also requires at least 3 copies including Primary.
DG is normally preferred over HW from both cost and performance perspective.
