Hi.
Good question. I guess Oracle will be pushing this forward, but only
time will tell.
One positive thing now is any hardware that is part of the appliances
will certainly be certified. If you are buying any of those commodity
bits you know you are going to be safe.
[joke] Fibre channel cards? Does anyone still use fibre channel? [/joke]
Cheers
