Oracle 9i RAC to support Red Hat clustering (ZDNet)

ZDNet is carrying a Gartner Group pronouncement on the availability of Oracle9i for Linux. "However, Oracle has not proven the need for a parallel DBMS on Linux, nor has it validated its claims for scalability with references and benchmarks. Thus, Oracle and Red Hat will likely concede substantial discounts as they seek to validate claims that Linux has a compelling total cost of ownership compared with Microsoft's SQL Server, DB2 Universal Database or Oracle on Unix."
