I wasn't asked this question but it came up. With an Internet facing application, it would make more sense to move from single node databases to clustered databases. A single node Oracle database has to be shutdown to perform upgrades and some patches. With an Oracle RAC cluster , rolling upgrades can be performed while still maintain 100 percent uptime. It seems management is favorable to this move but it just doesn't seem to be a priority.
