Rich,
It's been a few years, but I imagine that most of Europe
still pays 'net
bandwidth by the MB, no? See where I'm headed here?
Not in the UK! I pay a flat monthly fee and get 20MB broadband. I can up
it to 50MB for a further fee if I like.
Others are still on dialup as they are too far from the switches to
allow ADSL to work. They will have to pay a monthly ISP fee and a
per-minute telecoms fee. And they will be limited to using a 56K modem!
network redundancy and latency? How much training will be required
for programming staff to be able to minimize net traffic in apps?
Well, given that most app developers nowadays don't know how Oracle
works, what a network round trip is, or how to code properly in OCI,
then I don't have much hope for the cloud.
And don't even think about developers and coding for RAC! How many apps
parse ever statement multiple times, use full table scans all the time?
And I'm just gettin' started...
Probably best that I don't start then ....
We'd be here all week!
Disclaimer: I've not had my tea yet.
Tea? I thought you US chaps and chapesses drank coffee (=12648430) since
the last time you held a Tea Party in Boston?
Cheers,
Norm. [TeamT]
