Duke, I believe Oracle has shared disk clustering and MSFT Datacenter + SQL server has shared nothing clustering. Now when they start to break the database, as they do in this test, the whole testing becomes very fishy. Joe

Duke - A single datacenter machine can be configured as a single file system. The stated reason CPQ is providing both large machines (scale up) and cluster technology (scale out) is because older database designs can get improved performance on a scale up design without being re-coded. Newer designs can be set up from the get-go for distributed database design, and many of the web infrastructure designs are being built that way, to use clusters rather than big machines. The cost benefits are obvious.
