Articles on Oracle RAC on VMWare on DBAsupport.com



Just got a call from Linda (Administrator/Editor) of DBAsupport.com . She asked me if I was interested in writing articles for the Database Journal. I have been lately drifting away from Oracle database, doing work with all kinds of new technologies. WeB API's, AJAX, new stuff with Java (like Hibernate, Lucene etc)and it seemed to me a great idea to start writing stuff about Oracle 9i/10g RAC.

So maybe we'll just start writing stuff there. I'll talk about technologies(like Virtualization/Clustering/Load Balancing) which will compliment Oracle and IT staff in accepting the importance of such implementation in their IT setup. And ofcourse the regular Database stuff on Oracle.

So stay tuned. It's gonna be on the DBAsupport Journal.

The Framingham, Mass., company offers consulting services for companies that use virtualization software to improve the performance of corporate servers and cut costs in their data centers. GlassHouse also provides Internet-based data storage. "Software-as-a-service," or SaaS, companies and vendors of virtualization products have proved popular among investors in recent years as corporate customers seek alternatives to conventional packaged software. GlassHouse, with roots in both sectors, will test the strength of that interest, said Peter Falvey, managing director with Boston investment bank Revolution Partners. "It will be a bit of a bell weather," he says. "It's not as though it's the 15th SaaS m...
