I frequently get involved with the creation of full-stack architectures, and in particular the architecture of the database platform.

		<description><![CDATA[I was recently looking into a storage-related performance problem at a customer site. The system was an Oracle 10.2.0.4/SLES 9 Linux system, Fibre Channel attached to an EMC DMX storage array. The DMX was replicated to a DR site using SRDF/S.
