I was asked an odd question today. A customer is determined to use an Oracle RAC solution, and we are trying to convince them that in their case, this is too big a solution for what they need. In the meantime, however, I've been asked a few interesting questions, which I would love to have your feedback on.

The customer's requirement is for a small database, with only 200 users maximum, and not concurrent users. We're not looking for high-performance because the database will not be heavily used.

I've always used fibre connects with Oracle RAC. Is it possible to run RAC with something other than fibre? I've been asked if we could run RAC with a single SAS attached disk array.. I'm assuming not, but maybe there are other lower-cost RAC compatible storage and network connectivity options. May I have your feedback on this?
Thanks!-ChrisK
