DiViT Get Real - The Microsoft solutions arent "Clusters" - they break apart a database and throw a separate server at it - equivalent to the infinite amount of monkeys eventually typing King Lear given an infinite amount of time. In other words they take something simple - managing a database and make it complex by adding many points of failure and partitioning database tables across multiple servers. If you want to learn more about Microsoft's "federated" architecture and why its met with a yawn from the IT community read the Aug/Sept Issue of SQL server magazine where the architect for sql server says these results are a "down payment" on scalability and that it is not suitable for most enterprise database architectures - read this without the spin as "were reinventing scalability cause we couldnt get there any other way"
