[NTLUG:Discuss] Distributed processing

[Stephen Davidson]

Greetings.

Orion will be supporting Clustering/Load Balancing in a release due out
in August/September.  The project I am on is going with Orion for that
reason.  They won't be ready for production until late September, which
means that they can live with this timing.

Orion is also the AppServer at the core of the new Oracle 9Ai
Application Server.

Regards,
Steve
