Ronan Miles, UK Oracle User Group Chairman, on Oracle 10G:

"I think grid computing will do for the computer what disk farms have done for disks"

"Once, we were in awe of one disk and now it's a resource in a Raid array. Grid can take processing and memory down the same road. You [will] have a computing surface you just use."

"There has been concern about the degree of investment Oracle has put into applications," said Miles.

"With 10G, it is indicating its commitment to database technology. If the next product had been 10i, it would have sounded like it couldn't think of anything other than bigger, faster, better.

"Whether [the technology] really works or not doesn't matter because it will do by 11G."
