I was told recently from some who has worked with Netapp & Oracle implementations - it works real well for NON-transaction oriented databases. So things like Decision support, data warehouses, or reporting databases - it works well. In fact NetApp comes right out and says that they don't recommend using their box in OLTP configurations. The biggest reason is that OLTP database tend to be lots of little transactions and since you are using NFS (relatively big transactions) you won't get the performance gains as you would with a DSS config. Does anyone have experience with running Oracle with mass transactions that could help me (EMC vs' NetApps)
