		<description><![CDATA[This originally started out as a much longer rant about EMC/VMWare vs. Oracle in general, but WordPress managed to eat the draft, and there&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m going to rewrite the whole thing, so I&#8217;m going to instead write a series of blog posts, each one covering a point in EMC&#8217;s recent salvo against Oracle [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chuck Hollis, one of EMC&#8217;s senior execs and frequent blogger, has posted some odds and ends, but the one item that got my dander up was a little blurb on Exadata, Oracle&#8217;s storage server appliance.  To quote Chuck:

		<description><![CDATA[Chris Evans, the storage architect, just published a post about storage migrations.  He talks about how the increasing storage capacity of arrays means that when you have to replace them, the process is ever-so-much more painful.  I completely agree, but I think there&#8217;s a few points to consider when looking at this process.
