Re: anyone have opinions on the future of the 'grid'?

Hello Tom

>From my limited understanding in OOW in Paris, the Grid is a BIG RAC, with
options to add or remove servers as you go along. It can be used for web servers, applications servers, database servers etc. There is a lot more in 10g that can help you manage also separated databases.
