Or do like ORACLE says they are doing, and Cluster Intel Based Machines with LINUX.
Then you can get rid of all those competing Hardware Vendors. -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 13:39 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Stephane, In the not so distant future, I think we might see a push to accomplish just what Robert is asking. With the growth of the need for speed and the decline in the economy, a lot of companies can not afford to purchase new machines and discard to old. If I was a company that had a few different but capable servers to use I would want them all to work together in a cluster if needed. $$$ talks in the IT world today and a lot of us are having to make do with what we have or be creative in our DBA duties. I would like to be able to cluster an HP,SUN,INTEL,AIX or what ever or have the different machines be a backup server. With the merging of companies there is a merging of resources. One company has HP and another has SUN. Do you discard one for the other? or have a capital expendature that you can't afford? Just a thought.

Look at the prerequisite for standby databases, it will give you a fair idea of how far you can go in terms of cross-platform play - not very far. The architecture and OS must be the same. -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Ltd -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
