Oracle's marketing literature pitches RAC clusters as a way to scale.
Someone I know who uses RAC claims it is a product for High
Availability only, and never for scalability; that the scalability
thing is mostly marketing bluster from Oracle. My acquaintance
recommended that we size our server properly for the application at
hand rather than use RAC unless High Availability was a requirement (it
isn't).
For people here who use RAC, do you find RAC is valuable for
scalability or that, like my acquaintance said, it is chiefly an HA
product?
