Ellison Pushes Clustering On Linux (TechWeb) [LWN.net]

TechWeb covers Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's LinuxWorld address. "All of Oracle's midtier applications will run on Linux by the end of this year, Ellison says. The company's Linux clustering customers already include Dell Computer and the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as several European companies. Market research shows that Oracle's databases and application servers are the No. 1 choices on Linux, he says. "I don't think we've had a single new technology take off as rapidly as clustering on Linux," says Ellison, adding that the company has expanded its strategy of promoting Linux to existing users to others who might not have considered it."
