Re: Oracle on MS NT Clustering Servers ?

OPS is an implementation of Oracle that runs multiple instances on separate nodes of a cluster against a single shared database. Standard NT clustering at this stage only supports 2 nodes, but that is supposed to change.

Failsafe is a single instance against a single database, again in a clustered environment but only allowing failover, not active-active access from two instances.

From memory (and it's been a year or more since I looked at these, so my memory is out of date), Octopus and similar products are more failover capable than active-active capable.
