>Where have you seen oracle recommend "more smaller boxes"? RAC has overhead. The more nodes the more overhead.

More nodes makes perfect sense, from a reliability standpoint. Shoot a hole through one of 2 beefy servers, and you have lost half your hardware, and all of your redundancy. Shoot a hole through one of 10 lean blades, and you've still got 90% of your hardware, and all the redundancy and reliability you need. Received on Mon May 01 2006 - 17:55:57 CDT
