Early publicity for RACs specifically said that it was an OPS upgrade and made
great play of cache fusion which was already available in 8.1.7.
I agree with the previous point that OPS was often thrown at applications that
were badly suited and so customers perceived it as a poor technology. RAC seeks
to improve over OPS by giving it the capability to scale any application,
whether or not it's specifically designed to run in a parallel environment.
Whether they've succeeded yet is still to be discovered.
