Neither can my dedicated database servers ... well I guess they can if we buy a different one!

??? It has a lot more than we use ... guess you may have a pretty big idea of what a mid sized business is eh?
Is SMB different from your mid sized business concept?
# Looks to me like a fail.. Yeah, sure: lots of blogging about it.
What else would be expected? It's a marketing campaign, not a

Sure seems like it is both a product and a marketing campaign. Or at least it will be a product when they are officially on sale ... probably next week?
I was expecting a bigger announcement though the way the web announcement was pushed.
I was guessing that Oracle was announcing they were buying HP! Received on Sun Sep 25 2011 - 12:42:51 CDT
