Oracle recently <a href="http://www.oracle.com/newsletters/information-indepth/on-demand/dec-10/exadataod.html" rel="nofollow">announced</a> Exadata On-Demand.<br /><br />I've heard there are VMs (with the obvious performance gains) internally at Oracle. I've been arguing for some sort of happy medium...give us the VMs or give us something like <a href="http://apex.oracle.com" rel="nofollow">apex.oracle.com</a> so we can test it out.oraclenerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412013306950057961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-30257088228812015042010-12-09T08:29:29.583-05:002010-12-09T08:29:29.583-05:00IMHO, a public accessible exadata/exalogic env wil...IMHO, a public accessible exadata/exalogic env will be good enough for me<br />or oracle-vm based SandBOXLaoTsaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15680490793335841446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-45108274692706259112010-12-08T17:23:31.599-05:002010-12-08T17:23:31.599-05:00well, you happen to know me, so that's cheatin...well, you happen to know me, so that's cheating. :poraclenerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412013306950057961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-56000595257613190542010-12-03T11:54:53.729-05:002010-12-03T11:54:53.729-05:00Your comment 'karma rocks' just says it al...Your comment 'karma rocks' just says it all...

What is it? 20% a year or there-about?<br /><br />hehe...I've been pestering the Oracle folks for a little over a year now to do something similar to apex.oracle.com (which I love!). At first, it was a trade secret thing, which made sense because it was so new. Now though?<br /><br />Of course I don't know <i>how</i> it could be managed...but that's not the point. <br /><br />One of the reasons I really enjoy Oracle is that you can download all of their software and learn it yourself...Exadata, well you can't download hardware. Would be nice if you could POC something to show your boss wouldn't it?<br /><br />chetoraclenerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412013306950057961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-78703801524185018712010-12-02T18:29:39.948-05:002010-12-02T18:29:39.948-05:00Can't think of a more worthwhile cause!Can't think of a more worthwhile cause!Noonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07694829378563989648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884584404576003487.post-76386399325175390422010-12-02T17:04:51.920-05:002010-12-02T17:04:51.920-05:00Win the machine...but pay for your own licences ?
