Interesting point of view. Brian, could you elaborate on this? There is some learning curve with ASM but it's relatively short compare to, let's say, Veritas. I'm especially surprised that you position ASM more to large scale setups as opposed to small/mid-sized environments.

RAC vs. non-RAC - that's another story. ;-)
