Thank you Eddy.  What are the Oracle versions covered?

Well, most of approach and method on this book do stand on Oracle 11g and 10g, but this book focus on elaborating system behavior more than a specific feature related with a version.

The reason I recommend this book is that this one discuss Disk, RAM, RAC with quite great length and those does matter with storage and virtualization solution.

Thanks,

Eddy
