Right on the money Kevin. Oracle is becoming more and more of a
dictator and thinks of itself as a one-stop-shop, which just can not be
true and is not. It is my understanding that they gave VERITAS a tough
time when they were certifying SFRAC with 10GR2 for both 4.x and 5.x.
...I'm sure they did. If you read the RAC Technology Certification
Matrix for other platforms, notably Linux, you'll notice that SFRAC is
still not listed--whereas PolyServe is. Now if I was an ordinary person
one would expect that fact to make me happy since I work for PolyServe.
On the contrary I am neither normal, nor do I like that fact. Veritas
should be allowed to participate in all Oracle certification programs as
such programs exist. With Oracle-validated (RTCM), technology to choose
from, datacenter choices can be made based on intelligence rather than
fear. Competition is good for the customer and PolyServe wishes there
was more of it. To quote someone I'd actually rather die than quote, as
Bush said, "Bring it on". However,
since the playing field is being manipulated, the competition factor is
muddled.
On the topic of competition, it seems Larry's claims that the UL thing
is a competitive move has proven true. Look for upcoming
PolyServe/Redhat joint press releases about Bi-lateral support
agreements across the entire PolyServe stack--arbitrated if ever
necessary by TSANet. Now THAT is how businesses with customer success at
heart behave, isn't it?
I'll blog on that soon
