Is oracle 10g really oriented for grid computing?

576542May 8 2007 — edited May 9 2007
Hello all,

Microsoft's article "http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/compare/oracle/mythandreality.mspx" reads as follows:

"Oracle's purported Grid enablement in 10g is based on its Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) technology that is no more than a local cluster. RAC is a local cluster of computers with no geographic distribution capabilities. This marketing campaign relabeled existing features to exploit current industry trends. "

is microsoft article right? why o why not is oracle grid is a local cluster instead of grid computing oriented?


Thanks in advance.

HernĂ¡n.
