Think of RAC as "OPS v2", or probably more precisely, "Cache Fusion v2". Older versions of OPS used to require carefully partitioning of a anticipated application across the nodes. In 8.1, this was lessened to some extent and even more so in 9. Thus in 9i, the claim is that you can run a standard application under this "new" OPS without needing to worry about the partitioning issues. Thus you can run a (R)eal (A)pplication" under the (C)luster
