Oracle Database on CAS, NAS, FCP. Your Choice. Why Not Some of Each?
When it comes to storage protocols, the big storage vendors are sending a clear message: Some is good, more must be better!
NAS, CAS, What a Mess (That Almost Rhymes)
Yes, Oracle cares about Oracle over NFS, and clustered storage is taking off, but the clustered storage offerings are fracturing into structured versus unstructured data optimization and [...]
Defaults with Oracle Managed Files. Some OMF Trivia Too!
Since this is the shortest day of the year in the particular part of this lopsided rock we all live on, I’ll see if I can make my shortest blog entry of the year. I want to quickly blog about Oracle Managed Files (OMF).
