10g is Oracle's grid computing product
group including (among other things) a database management system (DBMS) and an
application
server. In addition to supporting grid computing features such as resource sharing and
automatic load
balancing, 10g products automate many database management tasks. The Real Application Cluster
(RAC)
component makes it possible to install a database over multiple servers.
10g follows Oracle's 9i platform. Oracle
says that the g (instead of the expected i) in the name symbolizes the company's
commitment to the grid model. However, according to some reports, many early adopters are deploying
10g solely for its automation features and have no immediate plans of implementing a grid
environment.
