Re: Anyone using Oracle in a hyperconverged infrastructure?

Another thing to consider is the support issues. Whenever you're running on a platform that's not officially certified, and there is a bug or other severe issue, Oracle may ask you to reproduce the problem on a certified platform. Of course, this is only really relevant if you're running mission critical stuff.
