Low end servers, usually running Linux, 1 or 2 CPU's, 2 Gb of memory, that can easily be racked (or even RAC'ed).

I was at the Wash DC Oracle conference yesterday and the key note address was about the future direction of Oracle. It was pretty positive about Grid technology and blade servers. Anyone out there have any opinions?

It seems like this technology is probably several years away from being used in the business and government contracting world. Most places you see it are in academia.
