http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/20/oracle_own_linux/ Two points I would like to explore here: "The eight OLTP servers, meanwhile, will feature 2TB of DRAM and up to 4,096 CPUs, 4PB of cluster volumes and what Ellison claimed will be "advanced" NUMA support." Are these designs something that Sun's HPC division was working on behind the scenes? Is anyon ehere able to comment? Seems strange that these suddenly appear after the Sun acquisition. My take on it - a Sun HPC box which is being repurposed as a high end database server. Secondly is this talk of Oracle enhancements marketing speak - to be honest I think it is. Anyone know what they are offering here? John Hearns
