Microsoft's big draw for Oracle on Azure: Simplified licensing Rent Windows Server instances on Azure and get Oracle's database offerings too -- but for how much? Two long-standing rivals --  Oracle  and  Microsoft  -- stood on the same stage together Tuesday at Oracle OpenWorld to pool their resources for a new enterprise cloud deal. Many of Oracle's biggest products, from Java to databases to Oracle Linux offerings, are all now supported not only on Windows Server Hyper-V but also on Windows Azure. The most vital question on the lips of many long-standing customers for both companies, though, won't be one of application compatibility or migration. It'll be about licensing for Oracle's products. At its core, the Oracle/Microsoft deal is impressive. Windows Azure users can now use Oracle Database, Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle Linux, Oracle Solaris, and Java. All products are not only allowed but directly supported by Microsoft as well. Users can mak...

What is Grid Computing? Grid Computing is a term that's being bandied about more and more in the IT industry – and, unusually for this industry, it's an extremely important thing to know about, because it might just be the future for the average computer network.  The fundamentals of parallel computing Most of us have come across Symmetric MultiProcessing (SMP) – servers that have more than one processing unit. The idea is that by putting multiple processors in a computer it can do more work, in a shorter time, by allocating different tasks to different processors. All the processors can work "in parallel" – i.e. several bits of work get done at once because several processors are doing their own particular tasks independently of the others. The next step up is Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) – where you have a sizeable collection of processors, generally not in the same box, all doing their own bit of work in parallel. The difference between MPP and SMP ...
