    Currently, as per RAC configuration, one node RAC or multinode RAC configuration is there. Customers who don't have licenses to run RAC simultaneously in multiple servers at the same time can opt for one node RAC configuration while they can still have the flavour of failover.

    Choosing Oracle Real Application Clusters over SQL Server Cluster was actually a business requirement. As the nature of business demanded Oracle RDBMS. As a clustering solution, RAC comes into the picture easily, so it was not a hard choice to choose Oracle Real Application Clusters over SQL Server.
