Oracle Clusterware is the cross platform cluster software required to run the Real Application Clusters (RAC) option for Oracle Database. It provides the basic clustering services at the operating system level that enable Oracle software to run in clustering mode. In earlier versions of Oracle (version 9i and earlier), RAC required a vendor supplied clusterware like Sun Cluster or Veritas Cluster Server with the exception of Linux and Windows.

Famous quotes containing the word oracle:
“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 30:18-19.
From the oracle of Agur, son of Jakeh.
