Increasing computing power by adding inexpensive processing and storage nodes to an existing infrastructure is a concept Dell refers to as "scalable enterprise computing" or "scaling out." Successful scale-out architectures manage workloads such that component utilization is optimized, cost is minimized, and availability and performance are maximized. Oracle's grid computing concept is an example of this kind of architecture. As Oracle continues to add new features to its products that automate workload redistribution and load balancing, it becomes increasingly clear that Dell's scale-out strategy and Oracle's grid computing concept are complementary, and capable of achieving many of the objectives of the "virtual" data center.
