Linda:

If you want to save costs you do not need Veritas clustering at all, you can use 10g RAC with ASM for example.

Vertias clustering however provides Cluster File System which can make life easier.

If your application writes to some database file for example using UTL_FILE package, you need some file system which can be shared across different nodes, 10G ASM does not provide that capability as for as I know.

Our company has tested both Veritas Clustering and 10G ASM and they both work fine.
