Just a cheap shot, Serge. You can find a zillion references on the web to z-whatever systems, and the news at some point picked up on someone running large numbers of linux images just to show it could be done. Then taking a sarcastic leap of marketing-will-always- exaggerate faith.

Stuff like http://cactuscode.org/media/news/BGP-131072/ is cool, but the marketeering it engenders is just sad/funny.

To possibly answer Noons' question about who is using vm rac, maybe the case study at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/cloud/index.html though I don't see anything about RAC.. they probably don't need it :- O Oh wait, the cc faq says you can't. Never mind.
