Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RAC, Linux and 9 yards
I have finally browsed through a number of e-mails on this subject. Let me add my 2Cents.
Oracle is pushing RAC on Linux pretty hard and off course its performing good, actually better than some of the Oracle's once preferred platforms such as SUN.
In the future version of Oracle the cluster ware will be bundled with RAC for all operating systems, thus removing the additional cost to customers who have to depend on the hardware and pay those extra $$$ and those hardware platforms that do not perform because they are new into this clustering technology. I am talking about the hardware company that's got a name of the star that rises in the East (Hint!)
Oracle just completed installation of a 20 instance RAC cluster on Linux at ???? (sorry I have a non-disclosure and I cannot reveal). I am told that this will eventually grow up to 200 instances probably with 10i.
While the OS plays an important role, there is even more important criteria, the hardware configuration better have a good HIGH SPEED interconnect. For example HP's new interconnect (developed with close relationship with Oracle's R&D) that transfers data with .0005 ms latency or VI interconnect from HP on the intel platforms.
