Many RAC specific technologies are covered including configuration of the interconnect, OCFS, ASM, Cluster Ready Services and Grid Control. Use of Oracle features such as RMAN to provide backup and recovery and Data Guard to provide disaster recovery are also discussed along with the many hardware options available including servers, storage and networking options.
