From what little I know about it, I would say that RAC is simply a piece of the
Grid enabling infrastructure. Grid computing is much larger than just Oracle.
There is no dearth of grid computing literature available on the www.
Simply google for it and you will be inundated.

Subject: RE: anyone have opinions on the future of the 'grid'?
If this is true, then what is the difference between RAC (formerly Oracle
Parallel Server) and Grid computing? Is this just another fine example of
Oracle taking an existing product and renaming it yet again? they *like*
doing this.

Actually Dennis is quite correct. Part of the architectural framework is
that you treat disk like a service. All disk storage is sharable across the
enterprise grid you configure. If you have multiple grids in place, you
would have multiple disk architecture frameworks in place. Alternately, you
could share the disk architectures to create a common, scalable grid.
Unfortunately, Oracle has been very lax in discussing the financial
requirements for the grid. Forget Oracle pricing folks --> think more
about the cost to reconfigure your entire data center.

But that would require Oracle software to be installed on all the grids,
don't you think? I'm really curious how they are going to pull this off.

I think the assumption must be that all the computers on the grid are
attached to a SAN. Does that seem reasonable?

For database type stuff, one must wonder how the data itself can be handled
by CPU resources scattered hither and yon. The answer comes from the fairly
recent knowledge that, in our universe, every particle has a matching
particle; and changing one of the particles results in a change in the other
particle. Well, the solution to trying to shove data all over the grid
becomes obvious: One need only establish central management of the matching
particles that make up the CPU and memory of all the computers involved.
Initially, this would seem to be a daunting task ... until we recall that
Larry is God.
