SearchEnterpriseLinux reports on Oracle's move to give away clustering software for its Unbreakable Linux distribution. "In an apparent competitive swipe at Red Hat Inc., Oracle Corp.announced on Wednesday, March 26, at InfoWorld's Open Source Business Conference that it would add Clusterware to its year-old Oracle Unbreakable Linux support program for all basic and premium-package customers -- and for free. By harnessing the collective processing power and storage capacity of multiple servers into a single system, Clusterware enables this system to be centrally monitored and managed."
