		<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[George Zachary is a partner at Charles River Ventures, and at the recent TechCrunch Cloud Computing Summit, he said, &#8220;Cloud is the new dotcom&#8221;.  This statement has inspired a variety of responses, but one I&#8217;d like to highlight is Reuven Cohen&#8217;s.  Reuven is the Founder of Enomaly, a company that makes a software product designed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After responding to Jeremy&#8217;s message on Oracle-L, it got me reading his blog.  On one post, he asks if OCFS2 has a future given the rumored introduction of &#8220;ASMfs&#8220;, and if it&#8217;s worth considering for various purposes, specifically:
&#8221;

database binaries (vs local files or NFS)

		<description><![CDATA[There was an interesting post to the Oracle-L mailing list today about using OS packages in cluster database environments.   A quick snippet from the post:
&#8220;We typically repackage database binaries as RPMs for wide-scale deployment. Most of the clusters we have currently utilize a CFS. Support scripts are installed onto the CFS with a tarball and [...]]]></description>
