If Oracle RAC Crashed Orbitz, Can We Trust 10g?
Also from EWeek, for some perspective:
If Oracle RAC Crashed Orbitz, Can We Trust 10g?: "A few months back, the travel site Orbitz was grounded for a full day due to a technology snarl that it blamed on Oracle's RAC (Real Application Clusters) technology. Considering that RAC is a cornerstone component of Oracle's much-heralded and almost-here Oracle Database 10g and the whole grid computing spectacle that it entails, I thought it might be wise to check into the status of RAC reliability�particularly now that Oracle is filling its collective lungs with more air to trumpet grid computing at the upcoming Oracle AppsWorld show.

The RAC technology was in it's first release in middle of 2003 when orbitz crashed. It's buried in the documentation as an "advanced" feature. Oracle did quite a lot of work on RAC to get it ready(widespread use) for 10g, which is much improved and has been out for over a year. I'm not sure asking if RAC that was released 2.5 years ago is a fair way to judge the feature in the same breath as 10g. It's significantly different code! :)
To translate into operating system terms, it would be just as easy to say "Since Windows 98 had significant security concerns can we trust Longhorn?" :)
Kind Regards
