We started our Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) database cloud computing journey in Chapter 9 with Oracle VM (OVM) for x86 and reached the point where we had an Oracle grid infrastructure set up in a virtualized environment, based on Oracle VM for x86. The grid infrastructure serves as a consolidated Clusterware and storage (Automatic Storage Management, or ASM) platform for hosting and serving clustered RAC databases in the database cloud.
