Good question. There is a whole architecture which more or less supplants RAC. It's called "NUMA" and Oracle's high end T5 boxes use the technology. Other examples are HP SuperDome and IBM xSeries servers. You have a single system image, and a tolerance of a single point of failure, which is built into the NUMA machines. I am not sure on which technology would I place my bet.
