Oracle, Cloudera Team Up On Hadoop Appliance
LinuxScribe writes "Oracle has announced a new Big Data Appliance, which will feature Cloudera's Hadoop, shiny hardware, and a price tag that could be more affordable than commodity servers. But Oracle's new Cloudera partner should heed the lessons of Red Hat and what it means to partner with Oracle."
Oracle's Linux is Red Hat Linux, they add some GPL licensed improvements. Anyone is free to use those, that includes Red Hat. I work as migrator/integrator/architect for a VAR with clients some of whom have IT budgets over $1 billion, I've not yet seen anyone use Oracle's Linux to run Oracle's wares (or anything else, for that matter), all choose Red Hat (some Centos too)
