This announcement is the Raw Iron thing if I am not mistaken. I think DS already mentioned this but:

Oracle also shed more details on its so-called 8i appliance, a powerful rack of components designed to be easy to set up and maintain. Consisting of two Intel-based computer servers and data management products from Network Appliance Inc. (NasdaqNM:NTAP - news) and other devices, the appliance could help Oracle slow the proliferation of devices that use rival Microsoft Corp.'s (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) Windows 2000 software, analysts said.

That is from a recent Yahoo article. I lost the link somehow.

Actually, Raw Iron does not compete with NTAP. Raw Iron is more like an application server. It is stripped down to run only ORCL, but can be attached to a NTAP filer as the data server. That's a nice combination.
