Ain't necessarily so. We already have some customers using grid technology with 9iR2 and 9iAS, along with the toolkit that's available on OTN (whose name escapes me at the moment). These are very high end business clients (not government or academia) that the Advanced Technology Solutions group in Oracle Consulting has worked with, but I won't name them because I'm not sure if they're referenceable.
I think one thing that a lot of people are missing around the 10g message is that an important part of any grid technology is self management capabilities (autonomics in grid terms). 10g makes huge strides in the manageability area, and that's useful to ANY Oracle customer, not just those who are looking at the grid side.

It was pretty positive about Grid technology and blade servers. Anyone out there have any opinions? It seems like this technology is probably several years away from being used in the business and government contracting world. Most places you see it are in academia. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
