Dear Collegues,

The RAC production environments based on Oracle 11g R2 Grid Infrastructure, on Israel and abroad, increase with many new installations every week.

On the next forum we will review the new features of 11g R2 RAC and of 11g R2 Grid Infrastructure (GI), that consolidated ASM and Oracle Clusterware under the same Oracle Home.

There are many exciting related RAC and GI new features that we will review and at the same time we will go deep into the architecture of this release, we will understand the similarities and differences with the previous 10g and 11g R1 releases, and look at the problems experienced and the solutions found for install, upgrade and management of the new version

We will have also have very interesting Customer presentations about upgrading a critical production database to 11g R2 Grid Infrastructure, deploying RAC with the Customer applications worldwide and Managing the RAC and GI environment from Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control.
