With the rapid success and market penetration of Oracle's Real Application Clusters (RAC), it has become increasingly critical to deploy these solutions quickly, consistently, and in a uniform manner. The successful deployment of RAC solutions requires careful infrastructure and hardware planning. At a minimum IT organization must secure the hardware and technical resources necessary to deploy multiple servers, configure public and private networks, provision storage, and create the Oracle environment itself. IT organizations must also factor in the need to replicate the RAC infrastructure for development and QA environments, as well as production. These tasks and hardware costs can be greatly minimized with the use of VMware's product offerings. ESX Server can be used to create a virtual RAC infrastructure.
