Rocky - While RAC can ride on various clustering technologies, there was a series of articles about a year ago which said that the reference implementations were developed on Alpha "TruClusters". I have not followed development closely for a while, but the base technology was supplied by Compaq as part of a deal which also committed Oracle to porting Alpha as a "first tier" platform. Another far-sighted agreement by the folks at Compaq - it was only about 4 months later that they announced the sale of Alpha technology to Intel and the eventual EOL of the Alpha products in favor of Itanium.

I'm sure that Oracle will eventually get good implementations for Intel and other platforms. My point was that Larry might have been jabbing CPQ rather than Sun.
