Oracle ? Sun Grid Computing
While IBM's fastest computer costs you $5,041,771, for a Grid of 64 Sun Opteron
Servers you spend only $504,567.
You can adopt Grid technologies with minimal investment, zero disruption, and
fast ROI, starting with three steps:
* Standardize on low?cost, modular servers and storage with Sun Grid Rack
Systems.
* Consolidate distributed servers and storage with Oracle Database and Real
Application Clusters.
* Automate server and database with easy-to-use management software from
Sun and Oracle.
Of course, you need to be willing to spend less.

I have never put my hands on >2 node Oracle OPS-RAC Cluster.
I have only heard of a few *real world* production 4 node Oracle RAC Clusters.
I can't really imagine the *true* reality, simplicity and power of 64 node RAC
cluster.
Maybe I just not a forward thinker....but I think this would be a big pain.
Man...I love Oracle more just as much as anyone, but they need to put a cooler
on their marketing dept.
Sad thing is that those who love and know Oracle most, are most cynical about
their advertisements!

Was talking to some co-DBA's today...one DBA said a funny thing;
The only "silver bullet" Oracle has, is their User Manuals!"
The more you read...the more you know...and the less you believe...
