Re: Re: HCC in Pillar Storage

Indeed. HCC was part of the regular EE database product in the beta, but was later rebranded as an Exadata-only option, making Exadata more attractive to potential customers. Now the recent patch allows you to have ZFS/Pillar also, because they are Oracle revenue streams also.

As you've already heard, there are some advantages to running HCC on Exadata, but there is no technical reason it can't be run on any storage. If Oracle flipped the switch, we could all have it. :)

I have no problem with this situation. It's Oracle's business how the license their code. I just get a bit annoyed when you read marketing crap that implies there's a technical reason for it. There is not. It's purely marketing.

Cheers
